Platform Four Eden Butler

Every day for twenty years, a Mills family woman has manned the goods trolley at the Pleasant Street train station. Every day since the Second World War began, Ada Mills has watched the passengers come and go, secretly wishing for an adventure, a way out of Legacy Falls. She never expected to find forever. Garreth McGinnis only wanted a pack of smokes and a fresh baked scone from the pretty girl selling wares on his stop over train ride through a place called Legacy Falls. A smoke and a bite led him to the girl who he couldn't keep from his thoughts as he lay awake at night fighting a war that shouldn't have been his. One letter becomes two. Two becomes ten and Garreth spent the whole of the war completely under Ada Mills's spell. Falling in love through lines of ink was one thing. Meeting the future that waits on platform four once the war ends, is something altogether different. Once the bombs have quieted and the soldiers return home, will the dreams of forever be all that Ada and Garreth's letters promised or will reality leave the couple wishing they'd never sworn to meet on platform four?
