London’s Lost Engine by Della Cain

London lost his train and found his new daddy.
When I was growing up, I proudly proclaimed to all who would listen that I was going to be a train conductor. Somehow, that turned into going to dental school. It’s a great job that allows me to help people, but the longing to ride the rails has never fully left me. When I see that Chained is doing a Little Day on the Train event, I sign up immediately. Who cares that I don’t have a daddy? I’m going to get the chance to pretend to be a conductor on a very real train. It’s going to be the best.
And it is the best day ever, right up until I reach into my conductor’s vest pocket and discover my favorite toy train is missing. I have an hour left before the event is over to find it. When I hear an offer to help, I accept it immediately. It’s only when I turn to him that I discover it’s the daddy I’ve been crushing on. Maybe losing my engine was a good thing after all.
