OOC:
Looking for a creative female writing partner to help me bring back to life an old thread idea based on the movies "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset". The scenario involves two strangers meeting and forming a connection (romantic and erotic) while on a train through Europe. They only have one evening to spend together before my character has to be on a flight back to America.
I'm open to pretty much anything in terms of how this plays out. PM me if you're interested in getting involved.
Name - Liam Samuels
Age - 24
Height - 5'11"
Liam is a graduate student in Philosophy, who during his final semester of study, escaped the hustle and bustle of New York City to travel the lesser-known corners of Europe. He has one final day in Europe before returning home and he is hoping to make the most of it.

Liam stared out of the window, the Austrian countryside speeding by. Mountains, rivers, and valleys were stretching out towards the horizon, occasionally blocking it. Small towns dotted the green hills, peaceful hamlets that had provided him a respite from his life at home. The sun was cresting over a mountaintop, shining into his eyes and warming his spirit. Liam wanted to take it all in so that he could retreat into his memory of this place when the responsibilities of life set back in.
He could feel the power of the train rumbling beneath him, lightly shaking him from side-to-side as the rails ran beneath his feet. Moving a tuft of his shoulder length brown hair away from his eyes, he glanced around the cabin. It was only 8am and most of the other passengers were still asleep. A car attendant was lazily passing out cups of fresh coffee to those who were awake. The old man she was currently serving seemed particularly demanding and Liam laughed to himself as the old man shouted words in German that he knew couldn't be good. The coffee did smell good though.
Closing his eyes, Liam continued to listen to the old man until his voice muted and he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Excuse me, sir," said the attendant with a thick Austrian accent, "Would you enjoy a coffee?"
Liam blinked a few times before nodding, "Sure...sure." He pulled out the table on the seat in front of him and the attendant poured the coffee into a dainty plaster mug. The smoke billowed up from the hot water as the attendant moved further down the cabin. Liam took a glance at her rear as she walked, her clinging uniform perfectly highlighting its form. He smiled, closing his eyes to imagine her hips swaying.
The tranquility of the moment was quickly shattered as a conversation between two passengers directly in front of him began to heighten. They were obviously a couple, middle-aged and tired of one another, bickering in Italian - a language that Liam did not understand. Liam heard a slap as the woman's hand glanced the man's cheek. Maybe he was caught looking at the attendant as well. The whole exchange was completely entertaining.
Liam glanced over to the set of seats directly across from him as he heard a giggle. There he saw her...
