And was the tutor calling herself “Wanderlust”in the language of every country she visited?
And might that tutor be Mom?
If so, was she following a similarroute as London through Europe?
It seemed impossible to believe.
And yet …
London would be in Amsterdam soon.There was no reason in the world why she couldn’t go directly to that addressand find out what the webpage meant.
I’ve got to know, she thought.
Then she heard a voice say, “London.”
For a moment she wondered whethershe’d said her own name. But this time she turned around and saw Bryce’shandsome face gazing at her with a broad smile
“I hoped I might find you up here,”he said.
“I’m glad you did,” London said.
They stood staring at each othershyly but happily for a moment, and thoughts of Mom faded from London’s mind.
“Quite an adventure today, wasn’tit?” Bryce said.
Then she and Bryce both laughed athis charmingly awkward effort at making conversation.
“An adventure, indeed,” she said.
“I suppose you must be gettingtired of adventures by now.”
London looked up into his warmgray eyes.
“Maybe,” she said. “Or maybe not.”
She leaned toward him, and helifted her chin.
Finally, their lips met in a long,delightful kiss.
