Every morning, when I go to work, I see this woman. She has long blond hair, and her eyes are blue like the sky. When she gets on the train, she always sits next to the window. During the journey, she looks out of the window, she sometimes reads a novel, or she puts on her makeup. She fascinates me.

Clever stuff happening!
