At that point Andrea started to cry, she knew at that instant her sister was right, she’d fallen in love and didn’t even know it. How could she respond to Carl now? For she knew if she told him he’d find a way to get to her. She knew just what a passionate man he was, and it finally dawned on her that that was the reason she loved him, he made her feel alive and wanted.Andrea didn’t let on about her feelings, for she had a plan formulating in her mind, and didn’t want to spoil things.

The next day was to be the last they could talk together, for he would be setting off the following day. Therefore, Andrea happily talked away for hours, all the time getting little bits of information out of Carl so that he wouldn’t suspect a thing. She found out what time he was arriving in Washington, and on which plane. She found out what train he would be catching, as well as what time, and then soon found that the hours had marched away once again, and she had to say goodbye. ”I hope you have a good journey Carl, I will miss you so very much, please hurry back,” she said, meaning every single word. ”I’ll miss you to Andrea, of all the people I will be meeting on my journey you are the one person I would dearly love to see.” Andrea smiled at that, for in the next few hours she too would be in Washington, waiting for his plane to land, she’d decided this the day she discovered she’d fallen in love, but she hadn’t told him.

In the next few hours things were extremely hectic for Andrea. She’d gotten her airline tickets and arranged for her sister to drop her off at the airport. What she hadn’t done was inform her parents where she was going or whom she was going to meet, she just knew they wouldn’t understand. By the time she sat down in the plane, she was feeling a lot of anguish, about meeting Carl and also about lying to her family, all except her sister of course for she had to tell someone. When she arrived she was a bag of nerves, she kept telling herself to calm down but the nearer Carl’s plane got the more nervous she became.

She even watched it land and got herself ready as the passengers disembarked, she got a little worried when about 50+ or so people piled off the plane but that he wasn’t one of them, and then she saw him. He was quite tall, at least 6ft, with dark hair and a very sweet smile.

Unfortunately Carl hadn’t looked in Andrea’s direction, so she had to go up behind him and tap him on the shoulder. As he turned around and looked into her eyes, his facial expression changed from one that looked lost to one of sheer joy. ”ANDREA,” he shouted, making everyone in the near vicinity turn to look his way. "Hi Carl, I just wanted to surprise you,” she replied, feeling a little embarrassed.

Carl suddenly swept her off her feet, planting a big kiss on her cheek before letting her down again. ”This is so wonderful you couldn’t have given me a better surprise if you tried.” ”I needed to see you, I felt it was important,” she replied, getting her breath back. ”Why, what was so urgent you had to see me?” ”I fell in love!”
