**Two Weeks earlier**
The holidays were rolling in around the corner and everyone has family to go visit. Everyone except Kasandra Roberts. However, she did have plans to stay in and enjoy a peaceful night with her cat. That is until her boss came up to her, taking her out to lunch as a means of buttering her up. As they walked and talked she started to get the feeling that he is leading towards something.
"So Kassy, I was wondering if you'd be able to work Christmas...."
Before Joel could finish, Kassy groaned and gave him a pouty glare.
"Oh come on seriously? What about Suzan, or Liz?"
Kassy knew what he would say and there it was... He had to point out that she is alone for the holidays. The others, including him, are leaving town for family and it only left her. With a heavy sigh and a pitiful look she finally gave Joel a response.
"Fine, I'll do it.. But you owe me!"

*Christmas Eve*
Sitting at the toll booth for the subway, bored out of her skull, Kassy took the tokens to let people through. It was only halfway through the day and the day dragged on agonizingly slow. There is only one perk to this job and that is a particular man that comes by. He comes through during the week at the same time.
Although today she didn't expect to see him and wasn't paying much attention to the time. In fact all she did think about is that she is cold and didn't want to be there alone. Suddenly the last token that slipped under the window came with a voice.. The only kind voice she's heard all day. A males voice at that.
"Merry Christmas."
He said with a smile when she looked up, however she didn't couldn't speak and he went on his way. That of course had her cussing herself out while watching him walk down to wait for the train. Talking to herself on the many things she could have said to him.
While she watched him though, noticing a small group of men hassling the man of her dreams. Kassy started to panic as they pushed him around, grabbing at his things and running off. The last one in the group pushed him once more a little too hard. The Mystery man fell onto the tracks as he fell unconscious.
Kassy ran out of her booth towards the man, yelling at others around for help. When she got to where he fell, she saw that the train is coming rather quickly at him. However, no matter how much she yelled at him, he wouldn't wake up. Without any hesitation she jumped onto the tracks, trying everything to wake him.
Having no other options, she used all the strength she could muster up and rolled them both to the side. Barely in time as the train rushed passed them. When it was clear, she looked over him to make sure he was okay. He opened his eyes very briefly before passing out again.
Kassy stayed with him until the medics arrived, lusting over how handsome he is. Inhaling the scent of his aftershave, just all around crushing over him and all the while never knowing his name. Or anything about him for that matter.
After all the excitement ended, she went back to her empty booth to finish her shift. Unable to stop thinking about him and made a promise to go check on him at the hospital. Needing to make sure he will be alright.
