Kansas Dorothy Part 2
Come Saturday checking out
Christopher reached out to Laura
and made the call
Laura have you got a passport and any leave left at work
Yes why
Well you showed me around Kansas
so it's only right you let me return the favor and show you were i am from
You did say you always wanted to see England didn't you ?
And honestly i'd really love to see you again and spend some more time with you
If i pay for you will you come please ?
Ok then yes
I just have to check with my Doctor first
make sure it's alright
Sadly her Doctor recommended her strongly not to
given her current medical condition
But she thought what the hell and
went against his wishes
So plan's we're made tickets booked
And on Thursday 9th May at 6pm
under a setting Kansas sunset
she face-timed Chris blowing him a kiss from the departure gate ending the call i cannot wait to see you
Christopher so excited arrived at Manchester Airport half an hour earlier than her flight was due
Only to find it was delayed by over 2 hour's
And when it arrived he still patiently waiting
Overheard a passing couple leaving talking
Referring to a young lady who had
passed away during the flight
Until the grip on his sweaty palms
opened and stopped clutching the
welcoming bouquet of flowers he was holding
Because he knew right there and then
Before he went to the enquiries desk and asked
the question he already knew the answer to
That he wouldn't be seeing Laura again
She never left Kansas
Unfortunately real life is not like a movie
And seldom comes with a happy ending
