Evie had met David, a soldier, but also a free-spirit, by accident when he was trying to reach her sister to spend a three-hour layover with him. Instead he asked Evie to join him. Later she received a short note from him saying he will be in New York around 8 o'clock between trains and he won't be back for two years. As 8 o'clock approaches, Evie stares at the telephone, praying that it will ring.
