Fingering the rough edges of my ticket, I sat back and watched the large electronic board, waiting for the bright green lights to spell out which train departed to Galveston. It turned out the portal hadn’t spit us out too far from the girls.

Which was why I found myself impatiently waiting at the Dallas station as I pulled on my training and didn’t go crazy from the cacophony of sounds all around me. I’d resorted to stealing a bus pass someone had dropped, but desperate times and all that. I hoped whoever had lost it had it properly replaced.

My foot bounced up and down, and when the light finally formed the words I was waiting for, I hopped up and ambled to the slowing train as a line formed. When I was finally on, I slipped low into my seat. An older woman sat across from me, scolding someone from her end of the phone. The sassy rebuttal on the other end sounded very much like a teenager.

I eyed the device hungrily. I could call Annie now to find out where she was instead of waiting until I got to Camilla’s. Swallowing nervously, I waited until she clicked off. As she was about to slide the phone in her purse, I cleared my throat.

“Excuse me,” I called. She looked up with an eyebrow raised. “I was wondering if I could borrow your phone so I can make a quick call?”

She narrowed her eyes at me, very much judging. I pressed my lips together so I didn’t say anything snippy and let her judge away.

“One call,” she said and held it out.

“Thank you.” I sighed, relieved, and took it. I swiped until I was able to enter the number. Holding the cell to my ear, I waited as it rang. Please answer, Annie... Please answer… I wanted to curse when I got voicemail. The good thing was that it was her recorded voice.

“Uh, hey, Annie. I was calling to see where you were staying.” I cleared my throat. “I’m in town for a few days. I’ll call you back in about an hour. Hopefully, you hear this by then. Bye.” I clicked the phone off and handed it back to the owner. I thanked her again and settled in for the long ride home.

Overall, the trip was long and anxiety-inducing, and to top it off, I got my first taste of a headache post-Fae. It was mostly brought on by the rancid smell that emanated from every surface. I spent the whole time breathing through my mouth. It was not glamorous. I even received some funny looks.

Five stops and a delay later, the train finally rolled up to my stop.

I jumped out, glad to be out of that enclosed smelly area, headed to the information booth, and found a map. I walked in the direction where cabs were lined up and hopped in one. I rattled off the address, and the driver pulled away from the sidewalk.

Snapping the map open, I perused it to gather an understanding of my exact location.
