Tracks

by Allyson Pearce

Ever walk through life thinking you've got it all figured out and then life throws you a curve ball? Yeah, that just happened to me. I've got my dream job of working on P to P which is a train that travels from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine. Yes, I know working on a train doesn't sound appealing at all but I'm telling you, it's the best. We stop in cities all across the country, from Denver to New York City. I don't have to pay room and board because it's included in my job description. I get to meet new people every trip and build relationships with them. And I get to work with the best crew ever, including my two best friends Finn and Maggie. I've got everything I could ever want in life; a job I love (that doesn't feel like working at all), the greatest friends a person could ever ask for, and no guy in my life. Don't worry, that is 100% by choice. I've been broken way too many times by men to let them into my life anymore and I'm okay with that. Life is great! That is until I met Daniel. Daniel is Finn's best friend and the guy that I'll be working with day in and day out for the next four months. That's fine. I can handle that. I've worked with many guys in my life time. They don't faze me anymore. Yeah... see... that's where I was so very wrong. Daniel is gorgeous. I'm talking just walked out of a GQ magazine, gorgeous. But more than that, he's kind, intentional, and so not what I expected. But he's got to be like every other guy I've known, right? That's what I've got to hold onto for the next four months. But like I said, life likes to throw you a curve ball and this one I didn't see coming.
