A Queen at Three in the Morning

Una reina a las tres de la mañana

The stranger in the next seat shuffles cards all night, and every trick ends with the same worn queen of hearts. By dawn, Elena's perfectly color-coded travel plan has a problem it never saw coming.

Part 1 of 4 in Four Night Trains

Una reina de corazones cayó sobre la rodilla de Elena. «Perdón», dijo el hombre del asiento de al lado. «A veces las cartas vuelan».
