My train journey

A man gets onto a train. He's tall. Well dressed. [...] The man sits opposite a woman. Takes out his iPad. Strikes up conservation. [...] The woman is using an iPad too. [...] The man informs the woman that he went for the white version, despite reservations. Some believe that the white version is more 'feminine'. The woman thinks the white version is sleeker. The man agrees. [...] The man asks questions. Is yours the 64 GB version? Does it have 4G connectivity? Alas, price was an issue for the woman. She has the basic model. [...] The conversation dies away. [...] The man checks something on his iPhone. Makes a phone call. [...] Apparently their common interest doesn't lead to discussion of others. [...] Jamie sits quietly. Listening to music on his phone. Two books lie on the table in front of him. One finished. A bookmark indicates the other is half read. [...] Jamie dwells on how inconsequential modern life is. To be fair, ... he is listening to Radiohead.
