   Summary

   His plan disintegrates immediately when Ned steps through the bus doors and is confronted by the most beautiful profile he’s ever seen sitting in the driver’s seat. A bit unconventional, perhaps, but somehow that makes it even better.

   The driver, around his same age, turns to face him.

   “Good morning,” the man greets him in a low, soft voice, and the butterflies in Ned's stomach are so fluttery that he thinks he might just float away.

   ---

   After taking the bus one day during a snowstorm, Ned suddenly has little interest in biking to work.
