Camille's dark circles overflowed her beautiful white face, she had lost a little weight, and now she was lighter than normal, everyday she prayed for things to find the necessary balance and finally be happy, but it seems that the universe would hate her, because it didn't give her just one day of peace”.
“Mommy, don't worry about me, I'll be taking care of you until the time comes” Everyone had resigned themselves that Angela's disease was fatal, and although thanks to the foundation that Andy supported, she was receiving the best of treatments, her body would not resist further.
“Daughter, don't do anything for me, don't insist and let me go, I can't take this suffering anymore, I only ask you to please take care of Carolain, she only has you, mommy please listen to me”
“We'll find a way for everything to go better, you'll see mom that you'll live a little longer for us, now change that attitude, I'll go to sleep a couple of hours before work, you sleep too” Camille gives a kiss on the forehead to Her mother, as she leaves the room, feels like her soul is impregnated in her mother's room, seeing her so ill is destroying what little sanity she has left, she was so alone facing everything, she didn't know if she was going to going to her mother, she felt like a coward and weak.
She went to rest for the couple of hours she had left before going to the office, although she was still in a relationship with Johnny, her encounters with him had been totally limited, she preferred to spend as much time as possible with her mother.
That morning he gets up and takes a quick shower, he looked terrible the last days he had not conceived sleep and the little food he ate was not healthy at all, but the almost single father was going through the same situation, he stayed all night in the clinic with his newborn, he ate at bad times and all the vanity that characterized him was collapsing, although his physique did not deteriorate, little by little the lack of care was taking its toll on his appearance.
The two leave, each one of their respective houses, both with a different destination, Andy was going to the hospital where his daughter was, and Camille to fulfill her duties in the company where she worked now, she goes to the train station like everyone else days, Andy goes with Orlando, but one of the tires is punctured thanks to a nail, right in the middle of the city and they had to wait for a tow truck to arrive, Orlando didn't have a spare at that time and Andy got furious, so he decided to take the train, even though he had the millions in the world it would save a lot of time avoiding traffic by boarding a taxi.
When he enters the station as if by chance, he is distracted, just like Camille, the two go in opposite directions, and as if the Greek God of love wanted to find them again, they crash, facing each other.
“Oh, excuse me, I didn't see it” A familiar smell invades Camille's nose, she raises her head and there is her beloved Andy.
“Excuse me Miss Ibis, but pay attention where you walk, he gives you the same smile as always with the corner of his lips”.
“Andy? Are you chasing me? It was the first thing she thought of saying to Camille”.
“No, my dear, my obsession with you ended a long time ago, that really turns me on, so I avoid thinking about her.”
“What are you doing at the train station? The billionaire CEO of one of the most incredible companies in the city is incredible, riding a train? not to believe!”
“Well, it turns out that millionaires also get flat tires, Miss Ibis, and well, I hate city traffic riding in a taxi, the train seems faster”.
“Well, I share your opinion on that, well I have to go I'm late for work” Camille smiles at him, and leaves his side.
Andy is stunned by the woman's attitude, it seems that she was talking to a real stranger, but as always with her insistence, he called her to return, however, she was waiting to hear her name in the man's voice, to her, he was the sexiest on the planet.
"Camille! Are you okay?" Andy asks her as she turns her back.
“The truth, no, Andy, mom is dying.” Camille's voice breaks, Andy approaches her and hugs her from behind.
“We must talk about so much little girl, tell me, did you continue with your lover?”
“I don't know Andy, I haven't even seen him, and if he continued, what happens?”
“Well, I just want to remind you that you are mine, even if we are not together”.
“Don't be irreverent” she continues letting herself be embraced by that man, his arms comforted her and raised her to heaven.
“Don't go to work, I'll ask my mother to stay with Zoé today or her mother, and I'll stay with you all day”  Andy begins to absorb her scent in the middle of the train station, but they were alone in their thoughts.
“Andy I can't lose my job; with that I support my family.”
“You will come back to my company whenever you want, now you will take care of Angela, let's spend the day together please” Andy begins to brush her ears with his nose, she felt that her whole body was vanishing at such a majestic gift, when he told her what Returning to the company gave him some excitement, where he was currently he had a lot of work and they were even more denatured than Andy himself.
“Andy, I'm not sure”  Andy takes her hand and rides her on the first train that crosses and opens its doors, they had no idea where it was going, but it was probably far away, he takes his phone and types a couple of messages, making sure that Zoé will be taken care of, he needed to clear his mind that day and if fate crossed Camille, in such an absurd way, it is because he had to take advantage of the opportunity.
He took her to his chest, she did not hesitate for a second to let herself fall, they were both embraced, in a cabin of a train full of people without a fixed direction, only with their hearts needing her love.
