Train
“I’m so sorry to bother you, but do you know where the train station is?”
The girl looked up from her book, peering over the pages to look at the young man.
“The Google Maps said it is right here but…”
The girl chuckled.
“I really hate to say this but the train station is underground.”
The guys face turned bright red and he looked away embarrassed.
“I also really hate to tell you this but the train left an hour ago. And since our town is so small, we only have one train and it goes to surrounding towns. It won’t be back for a couple of hours.”
The guy muttered something under his breath.
“Well I’m sorry to waste your time. I actually started reading that book on the plane ride over. It’s pretty good.”
The girl looked at the book I her hand, Stealing Crowns, and to the empty seat at her umbrella covered table outside the cafe.
“I assume your traveling then. I suppose since the train will be a while, you could come sit here with me. We can talk about the book and get a bite to eat. I just ordered a coffee and this place has the best European desserts.”
The boy checked his watch, knowing he had already missed his scheduled plans.
“Ya, ok. Thank you.”
She smiled, blue eyes glittering in the sun.
She had a good feeling about this moment.
