Annamarie, too. We’ll catch the earliest train.” Tears of relief filled Caroline’s eyes. She knew Noble wouldn’t be able to resist offering assistance. His compassionate heart never failed to astound her. But to bring Annamarie. Caroline cringed. “Are you sure? It’s a lengthy journey, and Annamarie …” An image of the dear woman flooded Caroline’s mind. So fragile. So beautiful in spite of her infirmities. Noble’s low chuckle rumbled through the line. “You know I won’t be able to leave her behind when she learns of these children’s situation. I’ll check train schedules and send a wire with the details so you’ll know when to expect us.” Caroline hugged the little earpiece. She hadn’t realized how much she’d missed Noble and Annamarie until faced with the prospect of seeing them again soon. “I’ll likely be sleeping when you arrive, but you know the address. Just come to the apartment and wake me.” She sucked in a short breath, hardly able to squelch her delight.
