“It’s romantic,” my mom gushed, leaning into him and possibly squeezing his butt from behind. It seriously grossed me out how in love these two were, even after thirty years of marriage. They sure acted like high schoolers, sometimes.
“I feel like I’m about to rush platform nine and three quarters at Kings Cross for the first time,” I said with a snort and a chuckle.
“When were you at Kings Cross?” my dad asked with a furrowed brow.
Ah, jeez. Sometimes it was hard being the only avid reader in the family. Had my parents seriously not even seen the movies?
“That’s it!” I cried. “We’ve got like thirty hours aboard that train. More than enough time for a Harry Potter movie marathon, and when we get home, I’m lending you my book collection so that we can get you all the way caught up.”
“Homework?” my mom whined.
“Ugh, you’re the worst ever, Mom,” my dad added.
And then they kissed so long and hard that my mom’s foot popped up like a fairytale princess getting her first big kiss. Only this was their six millionth big kiss at least.
This was going to be a very long trip. Very long, indeed.
“The conductor’s waving you over,” Nan said, pointing toward a uniformed man standing just outside of our train car. “Best get a move on.”
“Are you ready?” I asked Octo-Cat.
“Just get me out of this thing,” he grumbled, as if this whole method of travel hadn’t been his idea.
“Relax,” I murmured as we made our way over to the step up into the train. “I’ll have you out in two minutes, and then it will be smooth sailing from there. After all, what’s the worst thing that can happen on a train?”
Famous last words… I really should have known better.

Molly lives in a house on a high hill in the Michigan woods and occasionally ventures out for good food, great coffee, or to meet new animal friends.
* * *
Writing her quirky, cozy animal mysteries is pretty much a dream come true, but sometimes she also goes by the names Melissa Storm and Mila Riggs and writes a very different kind of story.
