Hooray for a seat!

This morning I got on the PATH train like most mornings, and didn't think for even a hot second that I'd get a seat. While I am wearing a maternity dress and it does look like I have a small bump (in this dress anyway), I expected the usual - people averting their eyes, looking down, pretending to sleep, trying not to make eye contact...not two seconds into the trip, a man at least four seats down looked at me and got up. The man in front of him stared at the seat hungrily, but the hero man gestured to me. I felt like a superstar. "Thank you so much!" I proclaimed, somewhat in shock. I made my way to the seat gladly, nestled in, put the headphones on, pulled out the book, and sat in satisfied silence. I kept stealing glances as my subway hero and am happy to report that after just one stop, a woman got up and he was able to reclaim a seat. Good subway karma all around!
