Hi Josneywat,

They are just passing through.

Your post made me remember the idiomatic expression
"like ships passing in the night."

when two strangers meet, spend a short time together and then get on with the rest of their lives.

Eu costumo usar "Passing by"

Ex: "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I'm just passing by..."

[pondedaniel]

yes Barbarela

I usually say: I'm just passing by

Take care,
