Such a shame bus drivers here aren't like him

This story was so, so cute. I loved it- especially the end, when he's blushing. It was just totally adorable and made me miss that crisp winter air and the cute coats that go along with it.

aw that was adorable!

aw that was adorable!

I loved this short story! It was so cute, but somehow managed to transcend cliche. Which is awesome. Great job!

I really liked this, especially the ending, because it was realistic. As I was reading, I was afraid that the two characters would end up kissing (which is highly unrealistic as the protagonist of the story is incredibly shy, so why would she go making out with a guy she not so long ago thought was a sadistic killer?), but I was very happy when I saw he just gave her stuffed reindeer.
I wasn't sure if I would like the protagonist at first since I absolutely hate characters with no backbone, but I found that I did actually like her, because even though she was shy, she was interesting.
Actually, the whole story in general kept my interest. I haven't been reading a lot on here, but when I do, I often find myself skimming through the stories. With yours, I found myself actually reading it. I didn't feel like it dragged on because it flowed nicely.
Anyhow, I just want to let you know that this was great, really enjoyable, and just an all around great story. (Sorry that I only reviewed one chapter, but I wanted to read the whole thing before giving my opinion, and after I read it all, I just thought it would be silly to go back and write separate reviews.)

Haha, so cute! Sucks to be shy ^^

You certainly have fetish for bus stories, don't you?

:) Nice.

Adorable :):):):):)
Honestly! I loved this.

Great work, thank you for sharing!

I'M ANGRY. VERY ANGRY. Okay, yeah, I've probably never written a review for you that started off in that fashion. I'm just angry because I was halfway through an awesome review and then POOF, I hit some button and it's all gone. And I'm using my brother's laptop because my keyboard's malfunctioning because I spilled ice that turned into water on it because I was/am nursing a hip injury that I happened to, um, acquire, on my first week back of serious running in nearly a month. So yeah. Sorry to rant like that. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE GUSHY, DANG IT. MY AWESOME REVIEW THAT GOT DELETED WAS GUSHY! I will try to recreate it, but we all know that things that get messed up and are attempted to be recreated are never quite so awesome. Anyhow, it started something like this:

AHH. AHH! I'm dumb. I never put this story on alerts. AHH! I am the type of person that favorites stories and never knows when they're updated!

And AHH! EEP! HE BLUSHED! That must have been the most beautiful thing for that poor girl to see. Justicee! Anyway. I'm skipping to the ending. I shall go back to the beginning. Or the middle. I don't know. I'm too excited.

...And then I went on about how it's great that he cared so much about his passengers being deprived of their bed, and how the girl could sympathize with the passengers - but at the same time she didn't want him to feel bad. And I think I talked a little about how awesome you were for being so thoughtful about your characters and their situations and making everything seem so real, not that you haven't heard that from me a thousand times. And then I said sorry for gushing so much because it must be annoying but my summer hasn't started off too well. Because I've got two sore hips and a broken keyboard. That makes running painful and writing near impossible because I NEED my keyboard and my computer - I can't write anywhere else. So it hurts to do one of my favorite things and it's hard to do the other. And, oh for pete's sake. Why am I complaining? YOUR STORY MADE ME HAPPY. Really. It's the coolest thing that's happened all day, right next to my nephew trying to do a magic trick. That was beyond adorable.

Like your characters! I'd been waiting for the drive-thru bit. You and your enticing summaries. Okay, I must admit, I was expecting some over-the-top scene but of course, you are way too cool for that and had to make it actually believable. MAN. You're my hero, like, no joke.
HAHAH WHITE LINE! That was priceless. As was the gift. I'm feeling all fuzzy just thinking about it. I haven't been to Wendy's since I was a kid. Next time I go, I'll definitely be reminded of this story. Because it was adorable and well-written and genuine! AND HE BLUSHED!

Okay, sorry that half of this review is like me being angry. You so didn't deserve that. You do deserve to be told that you are one of my favorite authors ever just because it's the truth and you need to believe it.

Oh, that is seriously the sweetest, most honest thing I've read in forever. How adorable! I like the roller-coaster feel of it, too; she's brave, she's not, she's herself, then she's putting herself out there. I adore the word choices and the ebb and flow of the narrative (and also the nice Christmassy spirit, that's something I too often find lacking in real life).

WHY doesn't this have more reviews? I love it so far.

This was utterly charming. I have to hunt down your other public transportation stories now! Hope you write more!

I can't tell you how charming I found this chapter. So well written with very cute characters! They are both so human, but still fun and quirky. Can't wait to read part 2!

I really honestly and truly cannot wait for the next installment. Please, update soon before I go insane!

Aw, that was super cute. I loved your girl character. Her shyness and then coming out of her box was done wonderfully. I think that I'm in love with this story. Beautiful job!
