"Kim?"
She froze at the sound of her name. Full of fear, she turned...
"Marley? Oh my goodness! Marley!" she laughed and covered her face with her hands.
"Kim, wow!" He smiled. "How pleasant it is to see you here. I'm sorry if I scared you."
"It's fine. I just wasn't expecting to see anyone I know."
"Uh oh! That's means you're not happy to see me?" He asked wearing a sad face.
"No of course not. I'm really glad to see you. I'm surprised you remembered my name." She giggled.
"Why wouldn't I? I haven't stopped thinking about you since the day I first met you." Marley smiled.
"Oh yeah? Oh my!" Kim blushed.
"I apologize for being a little too forward." Marley smiled.
"That's okay." She smiled. "Where are you headed?"
"We're going to Miami." He replied.
"We?" She curiously asked.
"Yes! My wife and I."
"Oh...! I didn't realize you..."
"Got you." He laughed. "I'm just kidding. I'm here with my buddy Chris."
"Oh, good one." She laughed. "That's better... I mean cool! That's cool." She folded her arms and nodded, trying to hide her awkwardness. "The same one you were with at the Ice cream place?"
"Exactly! Wonderful memory you've got there. How about you? Where are you going?"
"To the restroom."
"Haha, I thought so. I meant where are you traveling to?"
"Oh right! I'm also going to Miami with my best friend, Jacqueline."
"Nice.. Same person you were with on that day?"
"Yes!" She smiled.
"Okay. Well I'll let you go and do your thing but first, you have to show me where you're seated. Please?" He smiled.
"Sure! Over there." She pointed towards the back.
"Oh look at that. We're not even far from each other. Expect me as soon as possible." He smiled and gently rubbed her arm.

"Marley I see you're already making girlfriends." Chris smirked when his friend returned.
"You wouldn't believe if I told you. That's Kim!" Marley replied.
"Who's Kim?" Chris asked.
"The girl I met at the ice cream place. Can you believe she's right here, on this train?"
"Hm! Very interesting considering the fact that you haven't stopped talking about her since that day." Chris replied.
"I know right! She's also here with her friend. They're headed for Miami as well."
"Nice!" Chris replied nonchalantly.
"Yeah. How about we go talk to them later?" Marley asked.
"Nope! I'll be waiting for you right here." Chris replied.
"Why not? They seem like really nice girls."
"Not really my type. Shouldn't be yours too! Of all the classy, sophisticated women on this train, those are the ones you want to hang with?" Chris rolled his eyes.
