Kirk the Conductor

This summer, there was a conductor who worked on the train i took home from work everyday who had a crush on me. i was in his car about once a week, and he was always very excited to take my ticket. Sometime between summertime and now, i stopped seeing him, probably because he changed his schedule and didn't work on that train any more.

This morning, I took a later train to work than the one i usually take. An old man conductor came and collected my ticket, and i was sitting there reading my book when i heard the clinking i usually associate with the conductor coming up the aisle. He stopped next to me, and I looked up, thinking another conductor was trying to take my ticket again, and it was the conductor with the crush on me. He must have seen me get on the train and come looking for me. We exchanged pleasantries and he introduced himself. We chatted for a minute, then he handed me a train schedule and walked away.

I thought it was odd for him to be giving me a schedule unprompted - then i realized his name and phone number are written on it.
