The same seat and same clothes. Same delicate view of her back, same red hair-tie and braid. A few times, I tried to pass by her so I could take a look at her face, but she always seemed to know what was up and turn her head to the other side. Is it possible that she knew what I was trying to do? In my head I was secretly thinking: ‘Next time I take the bus, I’ll sit up front. Even if there's no seats, I'll just stand there. Oh, I got it! I can wait for her at the bus stop'. Then I'll definitely have an chance to strike up a conversation and ask for her numer or something.

When I drove up to the intersection the light was green, but I still slowed down, and put on my right turn blinker. I never thought an electric bike would come out of nowhere. She was going straight, at a rather high speed. I braked immediately, but I still hit her. I remember when I hit her bike she didn't fall off, but after I got out of my car, she set her butt right on the ground, crying and making a fuss, saying I injured her. She's clearly the one that ran a red light, breaking the law, and now she wants to pin it on me. At the time I was turning, my speed was only 20 or 30 kilometers per hour. There's no way I could have knocked her over.
