Description
“She’ll wait through this hour, and even then she knew she would want to stay by the station forever. She’ll wait until her knees give out. She won’t move, won’t step away, won’t give up. She’ll wait—wait—and then she’ll wait a little longer. After all, isn’t that what she promised Jim? At the edge of the world or in Ealing. Always.”
Most passengers at the London station “Ealing Broadway” know Mary O’Connor by sight. A beautiful woman in her forties appears by the entrance every day. She always holds a sign that reads, “Jim, come home.” Passengers walk past her, but Alice, a budding reporter, once decides to stop. What’s the harm in asking Mary to tell her story? The story has been going on for seven years and includes deceit, misunderstanding, and the disappearance of a person—someone Mary loved but lost; someone who said that one day they would surely meet “at the edge of the world or in Ealing.” And Mary knows—it’s not a joke.
