The Race of Love

Chapter 2 "The Reunion"

Candy was getting ready to go to the train station with her little suitcase, when she saw Alistair waiting for her.

- Hey Candy!

- Alistair?

- Yes! Annie told me about your little journey

- Oh...

- I'll take you to the train station...

- Thanks Alistair, said Candy smiling

She got in the car.

- You want some company in New York?

- No, I'm fine

- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm a big girl

- It's a big city, for a young girl alone...

- I'll find a hotel and take a room...

- I'll give you money, in case something happens

- That's not necessary...

- Candy, better safe than sorry... or I'll come with you and ruin your reunion with Terry!

- You wouldn't!

- Try me!

- All right Alistair, thank you...I can't wait to see Terry!

- I got you the exact address of the Stratford Troupe...

- Oh... Thank you so much

- You can relax now, you know where you're going... just take a cab when you get to New York

- I don't know what it is, but I got this weird feeling...

- What kind of feeling?

- Like the one I had in London when Terry left...

- You think he's going back to England?

- I don't know, I just have this really weird feeling, that I have to hurry to get there or it's going to be too late! !

- All right, well you're on your way...

- Yes I am, I wish I could fly to him!

- I wish I could take you there with my airplane...

- Your airplane? No thanks, I want to get to Terry whole, not with broken bones!

They burst out laughing. They arrived at the train station. Alistair took Candy's suitcase and he went inside the train and helped her settle in. It as first class and a private cabin with a bed.

- Oh my God Annie...!

- She wanted you to be comfortable...

- I'll say! Said Candy smiling

- Have a safe trip, he said

Candy hugged him.

- Thanks for the ride Alistair

- Anytime! Good luck Candy

- Thank you! I'm going to need it

- Everything is going to be fine, you have to be optimistic! Think positive!

- Right! Think positive!!

- Ok, I better get off the train before it leaves with me! Bye Candy!

- All right, bye Alistair!

Alistair got off the train and Candy went to the window too wave at him while the train was leaving. She waved at him until he disappeared. The trip was going to be a long one!!
