The passenger next to me pointed to the man standing in the aisle. A minute later, there was a light tap on my shoulder. ![]() ![]() Popping in my earbuds, I breathed a sigh of relief and shut my eyes as the train started moving. Proper train etiquette would have been to take one of those, but I figured he preferred cozy seating to vomit. “I can’t ride facing sideways.” The two seats in front of him were empty. The man lowered his paper as I settled in next to him. I found an empty forward-facing seat, settling in next to someone rather than sit in one of a half dozen vacant interior facing seats. My ass definitely needed to get back to the gym. It took a full minute to catch my breath from running the length of four train cars. I jumped into car seven just as the doors started to slide closed. ![]() ![]() The small lights next to each door began to flash red, and a loud buzzer sounded signaling the train was about to depart. “Sorry!” I offered a fleeting apology and kept going, ducking down below the train’s window as I ran down the platform a few cars. “Hey, watch where you’re going!” A suit bobbled his coffee, barely keeping it upright as I reversed out of the third car without looking and smashed into him. Shit! He was sitting across from my usual seat. MY RIGHT FOOT STEPPED ONTO THE TRAIN, and I froze mid-step spotting him already in the car. ![]()
