"Aw, man, I wish I could do archery. It just looks so cool." He said, looking down the tracks himself.

The sound of an approaching train filled the air.

The train arrived, Drew stood up and picked his bag up. He waited for Juliette to do the same.

She stood, pressing down with her right hand on the seat for support. She then grabbed her bag and trotted after Drew.

He got on the train, picking a seat near the window.

Juliette plopped down next to him, glancing warily at the few people around them.
(btw, what time is it in here, cause I keep thinking it's night)

The Ticket-man(?) came by and Drew showed his ticket.
(Shall we say early evening in winter so it's already dark but only like 7?)

(Okey-pokey)

She shivered, and showed the (I'm pretty sure its conductor X) her own ticket.

The conductor passed them and moved onto the next people. Drew crossed his arms, getting himself comfortable for the trip ahead.

(Indeed)

Juliette stared out the window. Her eyes, and the rise and fall of her chest, were the only movements she made for the rest of the ride.

Soon the train pulled to a stop. Drew watched as other passengers scooted off. He picked his bag up from the floor and got ready to leave.

As Juliette stood, her knee bumped something, and she fell to the floor with a loud, "Dang it!"

"Oh, nuts," Drew said, "Are you okay?" He reached out a hand.

She took it gingerly (no pun intended XD ), and allowed him to pull her up off the floor. "I'm fine – just bumped something."

"Huh, well let's just get out of here." He said, waiting for her to leave so he could follow.

Outside, Juliette pulled out her file and searched for the address for their home. "Uh…this thing says to head west, towards the river."

He nodded, "How far? Do we need to catch a bus?"

"Not too far," she said absently, squinting at the paper with the directions. She wasn't good with directions. "I think…"

He looked over her shoulder, " Yeah, not too far." He led the way through town, to the outskirts. A few apartment buildings were there, a river running behind them.

"I think that's it," she said, pointing to a dark green one.

Drew nodded, "Let's check it out."
