She arrives at the train station well in advance of her scheduled train. With time to spare, her thoughts wander in anticipation of this new adventure. Nervously, she finds a spot to sit down on a nearby bench as she waits for her train. Although she knew that leaving behind everything she had known was going to be rough, she never anticipated that it would be THIS rough. Sitting on the bench she watches all of the people walk by; Each with their own story and their own destination. Looking furtively at her watch she realizes that the boarding call for her train would be sounding any minute now. For a moment she contemplates heading back home and leaving the train station; giving up on the new life and adventure that awaited her across the country. The loudspeakers in the train station blared, "Now boarding to New York". Slowly standing, she realizes that her moment of decision had arrived. Picking up her bags she slowly makes her way to the boarding platform for the train bound for New York.
Holding her breath for a moment, she steps onto the train as the doors to the train open. With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, she moves forward into the train in search of a seat. Walking down the narrow center aisle of the train she steps aside as courtesy for an older couple. She watches them as they walk ahead of her and she notices how caring and attentive the older couple are to each other. The man lovingly helps his wife down the aisle of the train, making sure the woman's steps are solid and that she doesn't trip. Watching the couple find seats she quietly wonders if she will ever have what they have; true eternal love.
She walks past the older couple and finds her seat. Placing her bags in a luggage compartment overhead she turns and starts to take her seat when she is unexpectedly bumped from behind. She turns around as a handsome young man with a briefcase apologizes to her. Still startled, she nods her head in acceptance of his apology. Taking a moment to look more closely at this handsome man, she is instantly attracted to him; secretly hoping that he would sit next to her on the train. As she sits down in her seat her heart is racing in anticipation of the handsome strangers next move. With a quiet sigh she watches as the man continues down the aisle and exits for another car on the train.
As the passengers were hurriedly finding places to sit on the train, an announcement blared over the speakers on the train, "Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a ten-minute delay...we apologize for any inconvenience and recommend that you enjoy a cocktail or other beverage from one of our staff on board." Looking around the almost-empty train car, she considers herself lucky to have an entire row of seats to herself. Sitting next to a window, she looks out and starts to daydream about her new life.
Suddenly her daydream is shaken when she hears an unfamiliar voice, "Excuse me, but I think you're in my seat." Before she can speak, the handsome man smiles and takes the seat immediately next to hers. As he sits down, his strong muscular thigh gently brushes hers and makes her catch her breath. Gathering her thoughts, she replies to the man, "I'm sorry... I can move if you'd like." The man smiles and gently pats her knee indicating to her to stay where she is. "This looks like your first time traveling, enjoy the view before the sun goes down," said the man. She thanks him and turns her eyes back to the scene outside of the train window. Her mind facing, she can sense that the man is looking at her and she can feel his leg occasionally grazing hers. Quietly sitting in her seat, she is not afraid of the attention from this man, but strangely excited.
As the train leaves the station, her fingers tightly clutch the arms of her seat. As the now-moving train rattles and shakes down the tracks, she suddenly feels something warm and soft on her hands making her relax her grip. The man takes her hand and gently calms her with his strength. A few minutes later he smiles and lets go of her hand. She smiles back at the man in appreciation of his act of caring and concern. Before she can say anything, the man signals an attendant and orders two cocktails. Mesmerized by this handsome, strong and caring stranger, she smiles again as he hands her a Jack and Coke. She accepts the drink and briefly clinks the cocktail glasses in a silent mock toast. Sensing that she is about to speak, the man places a finger on her lips and says, "You are an absolute goddess in my eyes, for now that's how I want to know you...no names...and to just simply enjoy this glimpse of heaven." She brings a hand to her neck and face because she feels a blush starting and in the process affords the man a clear view of her breasts. Although somewhat modestly dressed, her gorgeous curves were very evident. As he looks at her with appreciation she feels herself becoming less afraid of this whole adventure and more confident. She can feel his eyes all over her body as they drink their cocktails.
