It is a lovely story somehow. It flows in conversation as the two people unfold their minds hearts and personalities. No wonder Karina got her ending of the book finally. How true that it is out of real life experiences that stories are born and come to shine like this one.

Title-
Title takes time to be understood. I see that Karina got her home-coming when she met green-eyed Joe and found an ending to her book, aboard a train.
Paris is beautifully inserted into their conversation, which is at once engaging and anticipatory.

Unfolding of a personality-
This is shown delightfully. Joe comes up with a complete summary of Karina just by listening and remembering what she talked about herself.

Love-
There's no telling when it happens and why. The way he fell for her draws us in with its poetic flavor.
"' "I love you like all dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." " Not Joe's words, impressive regardless.

Great story.

Write on!
