Chapter 7 – Set fire to the rain

We arrived in Germany early the next morning. I was surprised Frankfurt was such a metropolitan city. The place had a New York City vibe with its cluster of skyscrapers tucked along the Main River. I was also surprised by the diversity of the population. Thankfully, quite a few people spoke English.

We dropped our luggage at the hotel so we could go out for breakfast while we waited for our rooms to become available. Sammi and Cory were sharing a room together. I was bunking with Shae.

We decided to have breakfast at an outdoor café, which we discovered in a large public market called the Kleinmarkthalle. The weather was crisp and cool. We sat at the café for hours as we sampled a variety of meats, cheeses, breads, and jam. Shockingly, German coffee put Starbucks to shame. It was strong, very rich, but incredibly smooth, with none of the bitterness that I was accustomed to. If it didn’t rival the coffee in Paris, then it came darn close. I purchased a bag of coffee to take home to Rafael before we left the café.

We wandered through the crowded market place after breakfast. I purchased an international calling card from a convenience store, so I could call Rafael when we got back to the hotel. He wasn’t expecting me to call until I arrived in Ukraine, but I was missing him and really wanted to hear his voice.

I was exhausted by the time we arrived back at the hotel. We were planning to sleep for four or five hours before taking Sammi out to dinner for her birthday at the King Kamehameha Club. The waitress at the café had recommended the Hawaiian themed dance club. She claimed the place had its very own beach.

I glanced over at Shae, who was already sprawled out on her bed. “Do you mind if I call Rafael before we go to sleep?”

She yawned sleepily. “No. I’m sure I’ll be asleep before your call is even over.” She rolled over and pulled her pillow over her head.

I smiled as I dialed the international number on the hotel phone. I sank back into my pillows as I waited to hear his voice.

“Hello?”

“Hey handsome! All of Germany is missing you.”

He laughed. “An entire country is missing me?”

I nodded even though he couldn’t see me. “It sure feels that way. I’ve looked at your picture at least a hundred times. I really should have taken more pictures of you. I’m a little sad you’re wearing a shirt in this one.”

Rafael chuckled softly. “If you promise to be good, I’ll have your cousin take a picture of me with my shirt off, and I’ll text it to you.”

I paused as I thought through his plan.

“Kristine? Are you still there?”

“Yeah. I’m here. I’m just weighing how much I want that picture against my cousin getting to see you with your shirt off,” I explained.

He laughed. “Your cousin is a happily married woman.”

I giggled. “I know.
