James nodded and watched them go. He had never felt the same connection with them that he had had with Amanda, but they had been his family for three years, had given himself and Becky a safe place to stay, had made sure they were fed and healthy and stuck up for James's right to stay at Becky's bedside while she was in the hospital.
To see them go... It hurt. But this was all for the best. He clutched the bag to himself and watched them leave before closing and locking the compartment door then pulled shut the curtains.
He sat, scooped Becky into his lap, and waited for Amanda to wake up. If the train left on time, they would already be on their way before she woke up.
