He steps off the train and they're there, watching and waiting, anticipating the moment when his head will turn and their eyes will meet. But there are too many people. The platform's crowded and for ten seconds nothing happens, until suddenly somebody moves, a gap opens up and he sees them off to his right. There's a pause, then they start to run. Eva with the dogs, Kristoffer with his bags, the four of them pushing through and around people, desperate to be together once more.
They hold each other tight, breathing each other in. It's been too long. He reaches down to the dogs and she whispers into his ear that everything's fine now, everything's great. He nods his head and picks up his bags. She uses the word four more times before they reach the car. It seems everything's great.
Except something's wrong.
