I smiled at a familiar face and we started talking. I turned to apologize and looked into the eyes of my neighbor, Alan. But the milling crowd caused me to bump into someone.
I slowly made my way to the counter so I could get a drink.
When I got to the club car, it was packed. Well, this was my first chance for a vacation and I couldn't wait to surprise her. I got my degree in finance and got a job at the software giant (you know which one I'm talking about) while she wanted to further her education and went to LA. We met while at the University of Washington. I looked and I had a prurient fantasy or two, but I kept it in my pants. We hadn't been together since last summer. I was lost in contemplation, thinking about Angela. I had a great book but wanted something to drink so I headed to the club car to see what was happening. We actually left Seattle on time, passing Safeco Field and heading south to Tacoma. I'm six-six and the chairs in the cattle car just aren't conducive to sleeping. But the expense was worth it to have my own compartment where I could stretch out to sleep. Why am I taking the train? I'm terrified of flying and I fall asleep while driving. I hadn't seen my girlfriend since she left for UCLA ten months ago. I was sitting in my compartment on the southbound train, heading for Los Angeles.
