Seat on the subway

I had a seat in a crowded subway car.  I was tired and was reading a book on my iphone 6 called “Grace and Power” about the Kennedy administration.  I felt the presence of a boy approximately 10 years old slip into the seat next to me.   He had a nice energy and I was deep into the book.  At his stop, he got up and turned to me.  We smiled at each other and he paused for a second, then said, “nice story.”   And he walked out. 

 I realized, he was reading over my shoulder!  I was deep into a complicated section of the book where Kennedy was having a rough time with Khrushchev, and this young boy was reading along with me.  And I thought - alright, the world will be in good hands one day!
