Having never ridden the commuter train downtown, Michelle knows she&#8217;s in for a new experience, on her way to an interview for a job. She&#8217;s nervous about more than just the train ride, but when a man approaches her in the lonely rail car and asks whether they&#8217;ve had the pleasure, she quickly finds herself enjoying a rather lengthy if spontaneous conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The two of them may have never met before but he&#8217;s easy to talk to and after revealing his talents with psychology and the conversational arts, Michelle is fine with any distraction to calm her worries and fears. It turns out that through the subtle manipulation of conversation, this man reveals possibilities Michelle never considered about her career options, ones which might be much easier than traveling downtown to a stuffy office every day.<\/p>\n<p>This turns out to be the first day of a new point in Michelle&#8217;s young life, the first step in a new career, but is it the type of job she would have chosen herself or is it simply something she was unknowingly swayed into by friendly conversation? One thing is certain; by the end of this train ride, no matter if she&#8217;s met them or not, every man on board will have had the pleasure of Michelle&#8217;s company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/417113\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00IW5GRN4\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Striking up conversation with a friendly man on the commuter train one morning, Michelle finds herself opening up more than she ever expected.
