Just Because

"So why'd you jump on that train?" he asks curiously, his eyes trying to meet mine.
"I don't know. Just... because." I say, focusing on the all too familiar scenery passing by. "Why'd you follow me?"
A small grin spreads across his face. "Just because."

Life is boring for Rose Burke . She's lived in the same house, gone to the same school, and grew up in the same sleepy town as the rest of her five older siblings. Not to mention the last seven generations of Burke's. But Rose is tired of her family's traditions. Everyday she watches the trains come and go, hoping that one day she'll be on one of them and will never come back. Her family isn't too keen on this idea though.
One day, she gets in a huge argument with them and decides to run away. As she's running, she is stopped by Carter Thalian, who is probably the exact opposite of Rose. Carter has always been moving, he's never stayed in one place for very long. All he wants is to settle down somewhere and never have to leave.
The two are completely different, but with time they learn to understand each other. Why, you ask?

Well, just because.
