I awoke from a deep slumber in the train compartment only to hear the door open. I looked to my right to see Mary carrying water for both of us. I wasn’t sure what time it was nor how much time had passed since I fell asleep.
“My love, I brought you water. This train is beautiful and enchanting.” Mary said.
I simply nodded in acknowledgment as Mary handed me a glass of water while she settled comfortably into her seat. I was thankful that she was enjoying our travel rather than allowing herself to be impatient again as we moved through the countryside.
“What is the time, my love?” I asked.
Mary placed her glass of water on the table and said, “I believe the time is three in the afternoon.”.
I smiled at her and replied, “Thank you, dear. How are you enjoying our journey so far?”.
