Every morning at 7:30, Claire passed thesame benchon her way to work.

It sat beneath a tall birch tree in the park, always dusted with a few golden leaves, even in summer.

And every morning, someone was already sitting there.

A man in a navy coat, holding a sketchpad.

She never stopped. Just glanced.
He never looked up. Just drew.

Until one day, there was a small envelope on the bench.

With her name.

She paused, heart confused. Looked around—no one.

Inside the envelope:

“You pass by every morning at 7:32. You always look tired, but you still smile at the sun. I thought you should know—someone noticed.”

No name. Just a sketch—
Of her walking beneath the birch tree.

The next day, she left a note.

“You draw like someone who sees the quiet things. What’s your name?”

Every morning after, they left notes beneath the bench.

Quotes, questions, tiny folded drawings.

They still hadn’t spoken. Still hadn’t met.

But they knew each other’s handwriting, hopes, and coffee preferences.

One morning, no note.

Just a small book—
With the title: “The Girl Who Walked Past.”

Inside: pages of sketches.
Of her. Her scarf. Her walk. The moment she paused at the bench.

And on the last page:

“Would you sit here tomorrow?”

The next morning at 7:30, she sat.

For the first time.

He looked up.

And smiled like he’d been drawing that moment all along.

中文全文翻译白桦树下的长椅

每天早上七点半,克莱尔都会从公园那条熟悉的小路上走过。

她总会经过同一个长椅。

那张长椅就在一棵高大的白桦树下,即使是夏天,也总有几片金黄的树叶静静落在上面。

而每天早上,总有一个人早早地坐在那里。

一个穿着藏青色外套的男人,手里拿着一本速写本。

她从不驻足,只是轻轻一瞥。
他也从未抬头,只专注地画着。

直到有一天,长椅上放着一个写着她名字的信封。

她停住了脚步,心里有些不解。四周空无一人。

信封里写着:

“你每天早上七点三十二分走过这里。 虽然你看起来很疲惫,但你仍然会朝阳光微笑。 我只是想告诉你——有人注意到了。”

没有署名。
只有一张素描——
她走在白桦树下的样子。

第二天,她留下了一张便条:

“你的画,像是能看见安静世界的人。 你叫什么名字?”

从那天起,每个早晨,他们都会在长椅下交换纸条。

引用的句子、提问、小幅折叠画作。

他们仍未交谈,仍未相见。

但他们已经知道了彼此的笔迹、心里的念头,还有各自喜欢的咖啡种类。

某天早上,没有纸条。

只有一本小书——
封面写着:《路过的女孩》。

书里是满满的素描:
她的围巾、她的步伐、她停在长椅前那一瞬的神情。

最后一页写着:

“明天,你愿意坐下来吗?”

第二天早上七点半,她坐了下来。

第一次。

他抬起头。

露出一个笑容,就像早已画下了这一个瞬间。
