This story is set in New York and most of it is set on a commuter train. Amy is riding to her job at NYU in the financial department. She moved here from Seattle six months ago, after a traumatic break up with the man she loved, and still loves. Suddenly, he appears! " Is this seat taken?" Her emotions flow through joy, anger, and a little bit of fear. How could she risk her heart again after all this time? They had been apart for six months without any contact.What follows is a sometimes heartbreaking , sometimes laughable journey toward forgiveness. It is not an easy journey. They both admit they love each other, that they should have talked before she made this momentous decision to move across the country. Amy cannot get past the memories of work always coming first. They take a few steps forward, then his phone rings or he receives a text and there are a lot of steps back. Their refusal to compromise kind of drove me a little crazy. I wanted to jump in and say "Talk to each other"!This was another installment in the group of novellas called Strangers on a Train. I highly recommend all of the delightful stories. Each is very different, but all involve....what else? A train!I received this novella for an honest review. No compensation was offered nor accepted.
