It took Brady less than an hour to maneuver through traffic, get them to the station, and before Adam was ready, they were on the train. How he wished he could have found a way to postpone or cancel.

The porter took their bags as they entered the private car. Nan followed Adam to the front sitting area.

“Oh, look at everything. Isn’t this just exciting?”

“Well...” was as far as Adam got in his response before she continued.

“I’m sure you’ve been on a train many times before. I’m just going to explore, I hope you don’t mind.” Without waiting for his response, she had gone down the hall to their sleeping chambers and he could hear her exclamations of delight.

Adam walked up to the bar to pour himself a drink. He wasn’t driving, so he poured himself a double. He had the feeling he was going to need one. The beautiful Nan had proved to be a regular chatterbox.

“Adam, come see your bedroom,” Nan called from the back of the car.

“I think I’ll be surprised later this evening when I retire,” Adam called back.

Nan came back into the main area of the car. She took a moment to look over every inch of the room before she joined Adam at the bar.

“What are you having?”

“Scotch, would you like one?” Adam teased, knowing that most women didn’t like the strong liquor.

“Yes, neat.”

“Okay, would you like a single or a double?”

“Single is fine,” Nan said.

Adam handed her the drink and watched to see if she was just being brave or she really drank scotch. She surprised him by taking a small sip without the slightest grimace. He moved over to the couch and motioned for her to take a seat next to him.

“I can tell that you are pleased with our accommodations. We’ll have dinner in about an hour. Is there anything you’d like to do until then?”

“I have to tell you something about myself,” Nan said. Adam raised his eyebrow at her serious tone.

“What is it?”

“Well, I’ve read all about your weekends in the paper. I was extremely pleased and honored when you asked me to join you this weekend. However, I want to make myself perfectly clear, I do not sleep with men I hardly know. No matter how fancy the date, so if you’re expecting sex as repayment, as much as I want to go, I better get back off before we depart the station.” She’d said the words in a rush, as if she were afraid if she took a breath she wouldn’t have the nerve to finish. Adam wondered why she didn’t tell him this back at her apartment when he’d given her the chance to back out.

“Nan, we aren’t going to do anything this trip that we both aren’t in agreement about. You can put any thoughts out of your head that I have designs on you. I hope we will have a wonderful trip, and as you noticed when you were looking around, we have separate sleeping compartments.
