No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 33



It took me a four-hour bullet train ride to get to Galaxy Harbor.

The sun had just set, giving way to the evening lights. Though it couldn't match the glitz of Seabreeze City, its lights shone brilliantly, capturing the small town's romantic charm.

Right on cue, Fanny's call came through. "Made it yet? Found a place to stay?"

She hadn't expected me to leave in such a hurry. When she asked where I was going, I gave her the address and the train schedule.

She wondered if my rush was to avoid Conrad, fearing his persistence.

I told her she was wrong. Conrad wouldn't do that. He must be furious that I stood him up and wouldn't listen. And I was right. He hadn't texted or called since he questioned why I hadn't shown up for the registry.

My haste to get there wasn't only because I'd always wanted to visit but also to avoid entanglements, not with Conrad, but with Herschel and Jacqueline. They would seek me out to persuade me.
