Chapter 8.
Later that night over at Tidmouth Sheds, the engines were all going into their berths to rest. Henry looked worried Gordon was not back yet and he was usually here before the other steamies. Thomas and Percy also had concern faces as they glanced at each-other. "What's taking Gordon so long Thomas?" Asked Percy but before the blue tank engine could open his mouth, a loud whistle was heard in the distance; Gordon was coming. Henry could feel his boiler bubbling and his firebox heating up as the big tender engine was making his way towards the turntable but Henry stopped him. Thomas and Percy both watched them secretly without saying a word.
"Gordon, do you have a minute?" Henry asked very hopeful as #4 had an uninterested expression. "What is it Henry?" Henry thought of the right words to say; it was now or never but he didn't want to confess too soon or the others would hear him blurt it out and knowing James, he wouldn't shut up for the next millennium and he didn't want that. So, he thought they could go somewhere private. "How about you and I chuff over to the forest? We can talk there." Gordon sighed. "Alright Henry, as you wish." And they left side by side. Thomas and Percy both winked and giggled.
The two tender engines were now at "Henry's Forest" which was named after him due to his love for Nature. It was also the location where he would go to whenever he was depressed, ill, or just wanted to be by himself to think about things that were going to happen in the possible future. "So, what is it that you would like to talk about?" Gordon asked as he was face to face with Henry as he got lost in those black eyes again. He took a deep breath and it was now time, time to confess after so many years.
