I was making roses on the train home from Köln when I noticed a woman smiling at me. She was just barely visible between the crack in the seats in front of me. She was seated facing in my direction and I could really only see her head and some of her chest. I could see she was wearing pale pink. She smiled at me and then started to mouth the word "schön". Whenever our eyes met, we smiled. Eventually we spoke as she overheard me on my mobile expressing anxiety about the excessive length of the journey. (We apparently followed a loop rather than going directly to Düsseldorf). I gave her a rose towards the end of our journey and an invitation card. She looked at the card carefully and read the text thoroughly, and then she asked me if I was from England. She offered to help me with my bags and seemed a very nice woman.
