Unforgetable Voyage - The Search Written By Lady Cat
Chapter 2
Katie flew back to New York, thinking of her week long cruise, tears
coming to her eyes of the last three days. To find someone after all
this
time then having to leave. Why did life have to be so cruel? At her
apartment she unpacked, finding a picture of Taker. She propped it
against
her table lamp. It would always be her only link to her cruise, her
run
in
with Taker, their last days together, and their night of love. She
gently
touched his face, tears in her eyes.
"I do love you, Taker. Please don't forget me."
When Katie returned to work the next day everyone was glad to see
her
back. They asked how she enjoyed her time off, etc. She would just
smile
and say it was relaxing, nothing more.
A couple of her co-workers, who were close to her, knew there had to
be
something more than what she was saying. Sue and Beth had known
Katie too
long to not feel there was something she was not telling. At lunch
they
went to a small restaurant across the street.
"Okay, what really happened?" Beth asked.
"Just like I told everyone. I had a relaxing cruise, nothing more."
"Just who do you think you're kidding. This is Sue and Beth,
remember,
your best friends for too many years. What really happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it now. Maybe later."
"You met somebody, didn't you?" There was a slight pause.
"Uh Huh. You did meet somebody. You want to tell us how and who you
met?"
Katie told them no she didn't want to tell them. It was best not to
talk
about it. The girls knew better than to keep pressing for
information.
They knew Katie could get stubborn and never say a word to them at
all.
When she got home that night, she looked at Taker's picture. She
touched
his face, remembering how he had held her.
"God, Taker, I miss you." She started to cry uncontrollably.
