Twenty-six hours. Doesn't sound like much compared to the average 657,456 hours humans live. But we must agree on something: when you want time to go fast, even a minute feels like a whole century.

Twenty-six hours. That's how long Alanna Kohler had to waste on a train journey from Barcelona to Vienna. She probably should have gone on a plane. She probably should have bought first class tickets. She probably should have never dated Travis Rhodes. She probably should have kept her mouth shut.

Twenty-six hours.

Twenty-six hours. After all this time without seeing each other, after all the heartbreak and crying... can twenty-six hours rekindle an old flame?
