They dropped Susan off and went back to Elizabeth's to rescue Carter. Elizabeth was sure he was fine but she imagined he was less than exicited at looking after a little kid. She had really enjoyed the evening, The guy she danced with was really hot but when he went to kiss her she had known that something was not right. She always believed that if you kissed a man you liked then you would get a shiver down your spine and your stomach would feel as if it was full of butterflies. This guy hadn't made her feel like this, not at all.Anyway she wasn't going to moan she had had a great night.
Her and Abby stumbled into the house giggling
"Ssssssh.. You'll wake Ella." Carter said
Abby and Elizabeth looked at him suprised, they didnt expect him to be so interested in the kid, but why not? after all he was a kind man.
"Did you girl's have fun?"
"Yes" They both said whispering, partly out of consideration for Ella and partly out of sarcasm
"Did Romano find you?"
"Romano?" Elizabeth questioned unsure as to why he would be in Chicago..unless.. the letter
"Yeah, he came here looking for you."
Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat, he'd come back form New York to see her. He must care. bUt where was he?
"Could you stay here for like an hour longer please....i'm going to go to his house and see if he's o.k."
Carter nodded and Lizzie got back into the taxi. She directed the taxi to his house, and was suprised she got there with her hazy directions. She paid the taxi driver and asked him to leave, she wouldn't need him again as she was sure RObert would drive her home. She walked up to the door nervously, she didn't know what she was going to say. She knocked. Silence. She knocked again.
"No point knocking he's gone" A voice said
Elizabeth looked around to see a little old lady standing there, she assumed it was Robert's neighbour
"Excuse me?" Elizabeth asked
"He came back for a few things and left. He said he was gone for good this time. He seemed upset, said something about some woman at a club kissing some man. All i know is he was upset."
'God, he must have seen me at the club and thought i liked the guy' Elizabeth thought
"Where is he now?" Elizabeth asked
"The airport I expect his flight's at 2am." The lady offered.
Elizabeth looked at her watch it had just gone 1. She fumbled in her bag for her phone and called for a taxi.
"Half an hour isn't good enough!" She yelled down the phone. If she was going to catch Robert before he left she was going to have to be quick.
"My husband can drive you." The old lady offered.
Elizabeth got into the car, and the old man drove her to the airport, this man was a total strnager but she didn't care, she needed to get to the airport. They arrived and she thanked the man. She ran ito the airport and checked the departure board. NEW YORK 02.00 GATE 3. she read. She ran to the gate.
"Excuse me ma'am you have to have a ticket." A hostess said as she arrived at the gate
"But I just need to get into the lounge."
"You must have a ticket." the hostess persisted
"Christ!"Elizabeth shouted!
She didn't have time for this. She ran to the desk and asked to buy a ticket. it was expnsive but she didn't care just handed over her credit card. With her ticket she ran inot the lounge. She couldn't see Robert anywhere.
'We are boarding rows A-E' A voice said over the tannoy.
Elizabeth searched the seas of faces as they went to board. Men, women children, until she spotted him, his muscalar body, his strong jaw.
"Robert!" She cried out.
He turned to face her...............
