Molly's Secret Admirer

Molly's Secret Admirer is the twelfth episode of the first season of The Railroad Girl.

Summary
After Molly receives a mysterious yet thoughtful letter in the mail, she sets out to find out who sent it.

Story
One day, Molly was watching Kenan & Kel on TV. Her father, Murdoch, was taking a big cargo train to Starlet City in neighboring Colorado.

"Man," said Molly, "I love this show!"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Coming," said Molly.

Molly went to the door, and saw the local postmaster, Tom Tipper, on the doorstep.

"Hey, Molly," said Tom.

"Hey, Mr. Tipper," said Molly, "any mail for me?"

"Yes, there is," said Tom as he handed Molly an envelope.

When Molly looked at the envelope, she saw there was a stamp and her address on it, but there was no return address on it.

"Strange," said Molly, "it doesn't say who it's from."

"I know," said Tom, "I didn't see who left it. It was just sitting there on the counter when I arrived for work earlier."

Tom then looked at his watch.

"Well," said Tom, "I'd like to stay and chat, but I've got more deliveries to make."

Tom got in his van and left while Molly waved to him.

"Now," said Molly, "let's see what's inside."

Molly carefully opened the envelope with a letter opener and found a folded-up piece of paper. When she unfolded the paper, she found it was a note that said:

"Dear Molly,
 * You are one of the most beautiful engines this side of Winter City.
 * Your warm smile sends me to places no engine has gone before.
 * In the sunlight, your yellow paint shines as bright as the sun itself.
 * Every time I see you, I feel my heart running a marathon.
 * Signed, Mr. X"

Molly was stunned at what was written in the letter.

"Wow," said Molly, "this guy must really like me, yet I don't know who wrote it."

Molly then went over to the phone and dialed a number. It took two rings until someone answered.

"Hello," said a voice.

"Can you and Mavis come to my house," asked Molly, "I've got something to share."

"Sure," said the voice. "we're on our way!"
