love the premise and the setting, but it's just a couple pages long! what a tease

This is a blink and you'll miss it kind of short story with an interesting premise that I'd like to see fleshed out should Ms Grey decide to revisit the characters. I think everyone who's ever ridden on public transport has seen someone who intrigues them, so it's also relatable, just way too short.

A Quick Little Tale
I liked this story. It is a very short story of 2 strangers who meet on a train. I like it as it is but I also like that I can take the story farther in my head and decide their fates.
This is a f/f book

Well that was a short train ride and it dawn on me that Melissa is lesbian and totally into her when she was staring at her breasts and oogling her. She totally wants her.

I totally relate to this except I never had the nerve to speak.

10 page story that is very captivating. Two strangers share a morning commute, they finally talk. Then they part. I was so disappointed to turn the page and find the story had finished. Def left me wanting for more. Hopefully A Grey decides to continue the story of Mel and Kendra

Very nice, but so short. If there were more to it I'd gladly rate it higher.
