Chapter Three

Maddy’s triumph did not last long as she stood on the train platform, waiting on Goldie to make an appearance. She knew her friend had been having problems with her parents. As the conductor started calling for passengers to board she bit her lip, looking frantically in every direction she could.

“If she’s not here in the next two minutes, Maddy, we’ll have to go without her. I’m sorry. We just can’t miss the train if we want to stay on schedule.” Josh Akers told her.

Looking up at the man, she was about to agree with him, her heartbreak shining clear through her eyes, when she heard her name being called.

“Maddy, I’m here, I’m here Maddy!”

Maddy looked around and saw Goldie, only one bag in hand, running as fast as she could up the platform, a bruise on her face and tears streaming from her eyes. She waited, letting Goldie run into her arms and then rushing her onto the train together. Mr. Akers had paid for sleeper cars so she found their spaces and settled Goldie in. Getting a drink from a porter, she brought it to Goldie and sat down beside her, taking her hand and offering the still tearful woman a drink.

“I ran, Maddy, I ran the whole way here! I told momma and daddy where we were going and they forbade it! He said if I tried to leave he’d send me to Europe for a year and wouldn’t let me come home! Daddy actually hit me, Maddy! He hit me and locked me in my room. I snuck out, only managing this one bag; I don’t even know what’s in it! But I brought the money I’ve been saving, so we have that until you get some of your own, it just might be tight for a while. But I’m not going back there, not after the things he said to me, or the way he treated me. I’m never going back, Maddy, never!” With her final word she threw her arms around her friend and cried herself out.

“I’m so sorry, Goldie, ever so sorry! We’ll buy you all kinds of fine things when I have some money, eat in fine restaurants and we’ll never have to go back to Georgia, ever again! I promise you that. Now let’s get you settled in and calmed down, dearie. This is going to be a long trip but I do believe what comes next may be even longer.” Kissing Goldie’s forehead, she soothed the other woman’s hair, letting the train rock Goldie into a gentle sleep. Maddy forced down her own longings, her desires to kiss Goldie’s pain away and instead focused on soothing the worry from the other woman’s brow, singing softly to Goldie as she slept about all the things she wanted and could not have.

Josh Akers worked quick, rushing Maddy through a recording session and quickly booking her into several jazz clubs. His star was quickly rising and this was her first night with a large audience.
