Sample idea: Through a train window
Our heroine is on a train which has stopped at a station. She
looks out of the window and
suddenly sees the man of her dreams. He looks up at that moment
too, and their eyes
meet; the attraction is instant and powerful. And then her train
moves off, and he's gone.
She knows this was no passing glance; it was the real thing.
This is the man she will
marry. But how can she find him again? She knows nothing about
him: his name, where
he lives, his job, his marital status - nothing. Perhaps
he lived near the station he was at
and will be relatively easy to track down. Or perhaps he'd
only been visiting someone in
that town and was on his way home - wherever that might
be.
Her first task, she decides, is to get back to that station
as quickly as possible. That means
getting off at the next station and catching the next train back.
Will he still be there?
Probably not. Will anyone there remember him or know where he
was going? Perhaps,
but probably not.
She arrives back at the station where she saw
him, but there's no sign of him and no one
remembers him. So she checks the timetable to see which train
he was most likely to have
caught. Now she knows which direction he was headed in, but not
where he was going. She waits for the next train in that direction
and draws a sketch of what she remembers he
looked like. She then plans to stop at every station along that
route, show people her
sketch, and see if she can find him. It's going to be quite
some adventure.
Will she ever find him again? Of course! Will
he remember her? Maybe, maybe not. Will
he be thrilled to see her? Maybe, maybe not.
On the other hand, perhaps he was just as smitten
as she was, abandoned his own journey,
and caught the next train after hers. Now he's in hot pursuit
- albeit going in the wrong
direction - and having an adventure of his own. It'll
all work out in the end. Somehow.
