On the other end, Sylvia seemed to be in the middle of a bustling city, as her voice was nearly drowned out by the background noise.
"Hudson, can you come to the train station in Adenville? I have a surprise for you," she shouted excitedly.
Adenville? The train station? I was confused. A terrifying thought crossed my mind.
I shook my head, trying to dispel it.
How was it possible? How was it possible? It was ridiculous. Why would Sylvia be in Adenville? She had a job, and a busy one at that. There was no way she would have time to come here.
Despite my doubts, I decided to go check it out.
I made up a quick excuse to Selena. Though she was not happy by my sudden departure, she was bound by our previous agreement, so she reluctantly let me go.
"Hudson, don't you run away from me," Selena said as she looked me in the eye.
It had crossed my mind, but I knew it wasn't a real solution. Even if I left, Selena would eventually find a way to pull me back.
So, for now, I decided to just take things one step at a time.
I took a cab and spent nearly an hour getting to the main train station in Adenville.
It was the busiest train station in Adenville. The station was buzzing with crowds when I arrived.
I stood by the landmark out front, looking at the throng of travelers, and frowned. I was just about to call Sylvia when I heard someone call my name from behind.
"Hudson, we meet again."
Seeing Sylvia appear in the crowd with her suitcase in hand left me momentarily blank.
