Caroline was frantically thinking. She went upstairs, and looked at the computer screen. Guy had left in a hurry, so he might have… Caroline smiled a little at her own success as she saw train times pictured on the monitor. Guy had no idea how to use the train system though…
She felt a tiny flicker of hope as she saw the earliest train leaving was the slow train. It would stop at every stop between here and London. The next train, leaving in five minutes, was the fast one. It would get there two minutes before Guy's.
Caroline wasn't thinking. She tore out of the house and wrenched open her car door, driving as fast as she could (but within the speed limit) towards the station. The train left in one minute. She had no time to get a ticket, so she found the train and ran on.
Guy looked out of the window, wondering whether he had made a mistake. He knew in his heart that what he wanted above all was for Caroline to be happy, and if that meant him going away, then so be it. He thought of the letter he had sent, and wondered whether she had read it yet, and what she was doing. She was probably at Mac's apartment. He wasn't a bad bloke, really. He just hope that Mac took better care of Caroline than he had managed previously.
Caroline didn't have time to think. Her only thoughts were of urgency, and whether she would make it in time. It was one stop until Marylebone.
The train pulled into the station, and all of the passengers exited. Guy got outof the train, and walked off to ask someone when the next train to Bern was. After discovering that it left from platform 2, there was suddenly a slight disturbance to his left, and he turned around. He nearly fell backwards as Caroline flung her arms around him. He couldn't believe it. He choked slightly, as Caroline was clinging to him so that her shoulder was in his neck. She realised, and moved her arms slightly. He was so happy he thought he might burst, and he laughed slightly. He felt Caroline's smile against his cheek. She pulled away slightly to face him, and then leant forwards again, to whisper something to him.
"I think I might love you too, Guy." She moved away again this time. She looked fleetingly at his lips, and then gazed into his eyes. She could see him smiling uncontrollably. She breathed a laugh, and then leant into him. Guy met her halfway, kissing her passionately. He moved his arms from where he had been hugging her, so that one slid down her back, pulling her closer into him, and the other one, so that his fingers ran slowly through her hair.
Caroline shivered slightly, even in Guy's embrace, as a chill wind whipped through the platform. Guy, not breaking away, moved his hands to grab the sides of his coat, pulling it around her, wrapping Caroline's slender form in it, hugging her into him. She smiled as she kissed him, knowing innately that she had made the right choice.
After what was closer to a lifetime, but felt too short a time, they broke apart. They were still holding each other; Caroline still wrapped in Guy's coat. Caroline looked a little lost for what to say, so it was Guy that broke the silence.
"Fancy a holiday to Switzerland?"
Caroline smiled, Guy took her hand, and led her to the train, and into the distance.
