Every Friday at 5 p.m., a train departed fromPlatform Nineat Elmhurst Station. Few people noticed the old wooden message board on the far wall—except forJune, a librarian with a habit of observing the forgotten.

One day, she spotted a small yellow note pinned to the board. It read:

“To the person who wears the navy coat and always reads while waiting—you look peaceful. Hope the book’s a good one. —M”

She looked down at her own navy coat and smiled.

The next Friday, she brought a pen and replied on a fresh note:

“To M: The book was lovely. Thank you. Yours, J.”

Thus began a quiet exchange.
Every week, new notes appeared—simple, thoughtful, never signed with full names.

“J: Do you prefer rainy Fridays or sunny ones?” “M: Rainy. The station feels more like a film scene then.”

June started looking forward to Fridays not for the train, but for the message board.

After two months, a note read:

“J: Would you meet me? Friday. Same time. Same place.”

That week, June stood by Platform Nine, her heart racing.

A young man approached—coffee in one hand, a book in the other. He paused by the board, looked around, and caught her eye.

“You must be J,” he said, smiling.

She nodded.
“And you must be M.”

中文全文翻譯九號月臺的留言紙

每周五下午5點，一輛列車從艾姆赫斯特車站的九號月臺發車。很少有人注意到月臺盡頭一塊老舊的留言板，除了瓊——一位圖書管理員，總是喜歡觀察那些被遺忘的角落。

某天，她看到留言板上別著一張黃色便條：

“致那位穿藏藍外套、等車時總是在看書的人——你看起來很平靜。希望你看的那本書很好看。——M”

她低頭看看自己穿的藏藍外套，微微一笑。

下一個星期五，她帶著筆，在一張新便簽紙上寫道：

“給M：書很棒，謝謝你。J敬上。”

于是，兩人開始了安靜的文字交流。
每周都有新紙條出現，內容簡單體貼，始終沒有寫全名。

“J：你喜歡雨天的星期五，還是晴天的？” “M：雨天。那時候的車站像電影場景一樣。”

瓊開始期待每一個星期五，不是為了那趟列車，而是為了那張留言板。

兩個月后，一張便簽寫著：

“J：你愿意見面嗎？星期五，老時間，老地方。”

那一周，瓊站在九號月臺邊，心跳如鼓。

一個年輕男子走近，手里拿著咖啡和一本書。他在留言板前停下，環顧四周，與她四目相對。

“你一定是J吧。”他微笑著說。

她點頭：“那你一定是M。”
