Like many other people, Anne rides the Metro to work, and she loves every second of it. She’s spent years isolating herself from real people, so the anonymous contact with a sea of strangers becomes the one thing she looks forward to every day, and then she meets Kristopher. He stands out from everyone else with his kindness, humor, and generosity. Anne fantasizes about a life with him, but when he starts to slip through her fingers, she must face reality and learn how to trust in order to hold onto the man of her dreams.
