Her dark eyes watched the traffic surrounding her as she was on her way to work. Her first day of work. New job, new place, new home. Just like when she was growing up. Nothing that was new to her yet everything was new to her.

"It's a new start." She told herself. "A new part of the journey."

Thinking of all the moves as just another train stop on her journey had always helped her. Sometimes it whizzed along the tracks, the scenes out the windows a blur, others she waited too long at stops (Italy was one of those) and sometimes she could sit back and enjoy watching the scenery go by. Every now and then she'd had to change trains, realising she was on the wrong track or thinking she was going to the wrong destination.

This was what this was. A change of trains, a different journey, a new beginning.

When the heck had she turned into a sob-story author?

A horn honked indignantly behind her, startling herself out of her thoughts. The light was green. Oops, she bit her lip. Time to continue her journey.

Her lips curved into a grin. Or start a new one.
