She enters the train station with anticipation of the trip she has planned. Traveling by herself the kids are with her mom. Two weeks of solitude and adventure. But her mind wanders to him again, she knows she will miss him terribly.
Her train finally arrives and she boards with the other passengers. She finds her way to her cabin with the help of the steward. When she reaches her cabin it is filled with flowers, the aroma filling the small room. She eyes a card leaning up against one of the vases. Inside only a short note..."Wishing I could be there with you." Why did his job always have to keep them apart? She wanted him on this trip with her so badly. Oh well, she thought. She was determined to enjoy herself anyway.
She could hear the sound of the trains engine winding up getting ready to leave the station as she started to unpack. It was getting late so she laid out one of her negligees to put on after she came back from the lounge. She thought a drink or two would help her to sleep. She leaves the cabin glancing back, the flowers making her think of him once again. Remembering back to the first time she saw him, how she knew at that moment how much she actually loved him.
Once in the lounge she orders herself a white russian and picks up a magazine. Not being able to concentrate her mind wanders back to thoughts of him once again, thoughts of the night before.....the love making they shared knowing it would be weeks before they were together again. She orders another drink and decides to take it back to her cabin and relax, thinking she really should get some sleep so she can enjoy the day tomorrow.
