title: Thank You for Riding

description: The last train of the night might just be the start of something good.
  
  Stung ego or not, Caitlin's relieved her fizzling relationship is over, even if she's just been unceremoniously dumped between the copier and a dead ficus tree. At least she has an excuse to ditch the lousy office Christmas party in time to catch the last subway home…to her cat, and early-onset spinsterhood.
  
  Instead of a lonely, chilly ride, she gets an unexpected holiday treat in the form of a nearly familiar face -- a handsome stranger she encountered last week at the blood drive.
  
  At the end of the line, neither can seem to let their chance meeting end -- until their extended flirtation finds them facing the prospect of spending a frigid winter night locked in an unheated subway station. And they wonder if keeping each other warm is merely a delightful form of rebound therapy…or a memorable first of many more dates to come.
  
  Warning: Contains dorky, harmless flirtation that heats up into some spicy, third-base action.
