Chapter One.

Twenty three year old woman named Juliet Josette Mathews had the workers, who helped her moved her paintings and they drove the moving truck to Maine. Mathews grabbed her two suitcases before she ran out of her then apartment before her former lover comes home from his work at the construction company and she went over to the bank to close out her account before she rushed over to the Amtrak train station in Manhattan, New York, in which was not very far from Central Station.

Mathews has had enough of Eric's greed and caring for himself and she had to get out of that relationship. She was going to take the train moving north to Collinsprt, Maine to live and see her friend, Victoria Winters. She had a reservation at the Collinsport Inn to stay until she gets a place of her own. Good thing that her paintings that she had left were sent to Maine and to the art galleries and she made really good money for them. A lot of people knew her as a painter.

When she got to the train station, Juliet walked over to the ticket stand. She placed her suitcases down in between her feet to keep them secured, so they won't be stolen by anyone, who would get their hands on them. Mathews had gotten her train ticket and paid for it. The station worker told her where her train was and Juliet rushed over to the train that she was going on and she climbed on board to her destination. She got there just in time and the Amtrack train with her on it and took off going north to Collinsport, Maine never to return.

Back at the apartment in Manhattan, Eric came home from his job. He called out her name and he then realized that Juliet was gone, because he saw that her things were no longer around. He took his hat off and he threw it across the living room in severe anger. Boy was he pissed off that she had left. He had some how knew that she would leave him and never to come back. He knew what he did was wrong, even though, he would not admit it, but he would not bother to get her back because they would go right back to square one when it all began.

Victoria Winters and Juliet Mathews have a lot in common. They have no families and they were both raised in an orphanage in New York and they are good friends. Victoria worked as a Governess for David Collins at Collinwood. And Juliet worked as a painter in Manhattan, but now moving to Collinsport, Maine to do more of her paintings and to live there and to see Victoria as often as possible. They were both like sisters to each other. Both Victoria Winters and Juliet Mathews were loving, generous and caring women.

Juliet and Victoria were born the same year, but at different months. They became good friends when they knew each other better when living at the Orphanage. Mathews was eleven when her parents, James and Colette were killed in a plane crash. Juliet remembered of what had happened to them.

Juliet's father, James was from Brooklyn, New York. He was in the Army as a Captain during WWII and he stayed in France where he met the love of his life. And her mother, Colette was from Paris, France. When Juliet was born, Colette and James named her Juliet, named her after William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet's parents also gave her middle name, Josette and they think it's a beautiful middle name for their daughter. James and Colette got married in France after the war was over and they moved to Manhattan, New York. When Juliet was eleven years of age, James and Colette told their daughter that they were going on a business trip over seas to England for two weeks. Juliet didn't want them to go, but she understood of what they needed to do. She loved her parents very much.

So three weeks later, the maid got a phone call and they told her that there was plane crash and they were killed. Juliet stood quietly by the maid and she had tears in her eyes. Mathews now understood that her parents were never coming home. Juliet was crying in grief and the maid was there comforting her. The maid called up the Orphanage and told them about Juliet and the death of her parents. Mathews didn't want to leave her home.

When they came for her at the Mathews home, Juliet fought them tooth and nail and telling them that she was staying home, but to no avail. The maid packed Juliet's things and she placed them into a storage facility. She helped paid for the storage. A close friend of the family paid the rest for the storage. Juliet only had seven years to get to eighteen to live her life the way she wanted. And at eighteen, Juliet got a job, cleaned out her storage with the help of her family friend, got a place of her own and she went to college to study painting and art.

Mathews ended up living at the Orphanage. Juliet didn't eat much for a few days since she started living there. She was still going through her grief and she didn't have very much friends and most of the kids left her alone and did not even bother with her. But the only friend that would look after her was Victoria Winters. Later in years at twenty three years old, Mathews got a call from Winters and she was sad that Victoria got the job in Maine, working as a Governess for a ten year old boy named, David Collins.

So Juliet was staying in New York until she sold her paintings and saved up enough money to get out of Manhattan and ending her relationship with Eric. She never liked anyone taking advantage of her. Even hurting her. All Eric wanted from Mathews was money and she noticed this. So she ended it by when she waited for Eric go to work. His greed got the best of him.

After he went to work, she called the movers trucking company and she started packing and leaving her apartment behind. Juliet gave the movers money for their services and she gave them the address for the Collinsport Inn and that was where they were heading to. The movers gave her a positive smile and they got into the truck and drove down the road, going north.

Juliet walked out of her then apartment, walked down the street and got her identification slip for her luggage, so she won't lose them and getting her train ticket for the instructors to look at and moving to Maine where Victoria was in. Juliet would find the right man to love some day. She could not wait to see Victoria again. Juliet was planning on surprising Vicki when she gets there.

On the train and half way there, Juliet knew that this ride is a little over eight hours to get to Collinsport. Even though, it depends of the stops it takes on the way up. She knew that the movers are coming in the early afternoon, so they could rest and eat something. She could not blame them for that. Mathews remembered bringing her paintings to events and traveling around the country and Europe to sell her paintings. She sat back to relax and she brought out her sketch book to draw while she waits for her destination to Collinsport.
