Wayne tried to reach out for her again, but Megan was gone into the crowd! Already several people deep in. "Jonesie!" he called, but it was drowned out by the shrill tweet of the conductor's whistle. He had to choose--leave Megan and get on the train, where hopefully Eloise was already on board, or leave Eloise on her own and fight through the crowd to chase after Megan.
The announcement came over the tannoy again. Wayne heeded it, casting one last look out for Megan, who was already lost to his eyes. Then he pushed through the crowd--politely and apologetically, like a good English gentleman--and climbed onto the south-bound train, looking now for Eloise, hoping to whatever gods there were that he wasn't alone now.
