John had driven his vintage red convertible to the station to meet Fiona. Her train must have been early because although he had left with plenty of time she was already waiting at the station for him when he arrived. The station was an old fashioned one and, like many things in this part of the world, had retained a certain prettiness that seemed to have v...
