The moment

the long version

Fern and Elliott have spent 25 years apart. They now have 12 hours to decide their future. It's rush hour. As the crowds ebb and flow, time suddenly stands still for two ex-lovers who never expected to see each other again. But here they are, and the connection is as powerful as it was the day they first met. Their lives have moved on - but both will be travelling through the station in exactly twelve hours that same day. As the day ticks on, and the memories resurface, both Fern and Elliott reflect on the past. As their emotions go round in circles, so does the Paddington clock, counting down the minutes to eight p.m. - and the moment the future is in their hands.
