Too bad.
What am I supposed to do?”

Adam was also wide awake and restless.
After finishing, chatting with Lumma, he couldn’t bear to put his phone away. He carefully read through the
messages Lumma had sent him that night, word by word, afraid of missing anything.
Lumma’s words seemed to come alive.
It was like she was whispering in his ear.
He heard her call out to his name.
He heard her declare her love for him who was her husband.
He heard her share the joys of her day.
For a moment, he was eager to rush out of the room and tell her that he was right there beside her. All that she
had to do was turn around.
Adam thought he was just imagining it, but when he came to his senses, he found himself standing at the door.
He pressed a hand to his forehead and chuckled ruefully.

Keeley was afraid that George’s people would spot her at the airport, so she arranged for a driver to pick Lumma
up instead.
Lumma traveled light and quickly hopped into the waiting car, which whisked her away to a farm.
The journey took about an hour, and Keeley was already waiting there.
As soon as the car stopped, Keeley ran over and held Lumma tightly. “Lumma, it’s so good to see you again.”
Lumma hugged Keeley back, feeling both happy and sad. “Me too!”
Keeley said, “When I decided to leave Soothy City, I thought I would never see you again. I never expected that we
would meet again so soon.”
Lumma held Keeley tightly. “It’s fate that brings us together. I’m so happy to see you again.”
