 Bernieee <3 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Her luggage was stowed away and all that Claudine had in her possession now were the carrier cases, one in each hand. She had wanted to bring her sketchpad and crayon alo but wasn’t sure how she’d fetch them. As inconspicuous as she could be, she carried the cases all the way down to the back of the train. There were a ton of familiar faces but she didn’t see Cole. In any case, even if she did, there was no chance of her being able to stop for a chat given her responsibility.
Finally, she let herself into an empty compartment and allowed her to ease the burdens by placing the cases on two of the seats. That being done, she sat down on one opposite as Sammy scrambled down from her shoulder to her lap. “You two continue to be on your best behaviour,’’ she coaxed the crups in the cases. Samm chittered in apparent agreement.
Claudine sat back, turning her head to look out of the window. |
