Quotes:
« Lucy: [to a comatose Peter] Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like, seen somebody, and you knew that, if only that person *really* knew you, they would, well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that *you* were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with? Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?

« Lucy: [to Jack] Okay, um. What do you mean by the leaning thing? You mean because he gave me flowers?
»
« Jack: And then you *leaned*.
»
« Lucy: [matter-of-factly] And then I leaned.
»
« Jack: Yeah.
»
« Lucy: Okay, how did I lean when I leaned?
»
« Jack: [gesturing as he describes] It was a lot different from hugging. Hugging's very different. Hugging that involves arms and hands; and leaning is whole bodies moving in like this. Leaning involves *wanting*… and *accepting*. *Leaning*…

Plots:
A subway clerk falls for a comatose man’s brother.
Nursing a secret and hopeless crush on the handsome commuter who passes her booth every day, Lucy, a charming loner and Chicago Transit Authority ticket booth operator, is about to have a second chance at love. During one seemingly ordinary Christmas shift, she witnesses the object of her desire falling off the platform, and in one of those spur-of-the-moment decisions, she saves him from certain death, only to be mistaken for his fiancée at the hospital. As she enjoys the unexpected stroke of good luck, unable to tell the truth to his welcoming family, unforeseen romantic affairs further complicate matters. Now his suspicious brother, Jack, thinks he’s onto something. Will Lucy face the consequences of what happened while he was sleeping?
Lucy works as a ticket booth operator at a Chicago train station. One day she saves the life of Peter, a commuter she has a crush on. He ends up in a coma and due to an error at the hospital she is identified as his fiancée. At the news of this his family takes her in and treats her as one of their own.
