CHAPTER SIX

"I thought we'd take the M40 out of London and then head west to an area called Burnham Beeches," Jason said as he drove out of London. "It isn't too far away from here and I'm not too sure how Kelsey's going to take a longer drive. If i remember correctly Burnham Beeches is very pretty with lots of different trees. Do you think you might like that?"

"Anything's fine with me."

Sara wasn't used to the way Jason always asked her opinion.

"If you'd like to look at the map you can see how we're heading for Cookham in the Thames Valley. Burnham Beeches is east of Cookham."

Sara opened the map and studied it. England was chock full of interesting places to see.

Silence filled the car as Kelsey fell asleep in her car seat. Sara stared out of the window, spellbound by the English countryside. It was exactly as the English poets she loved to read, described it. Fields of wildflowers, thatched cottages, quaint villages and the occasional pub.

"Are you hungry, or thirsty?" Jason asked after a while.

"Don't stop for me. I could keep going. It's all so beautiful," Sara leaned back in her seat. "It's exactly as all those English poets describe."

From the books he'd seen around the flat he knew Sara's taste in reading leaned towards poetry, essays, and human interest stories. Mrs. Binty had mentioned that Sara had asked her how to get to the nearest library.

"As soon as I can take a day off, we'll leave Kelsey with the Bintys and visit Stratford-on-Avon."

Sara's breath caught in her throat at the thought of a whole day alone with Jason. It took a minute longer for her to realize that thought had come first. Before the one that visiting Shakespeare's birthplace had been a dream she'd never thought would ever come true.

She glanced at Jason's profile. Why was he being so kind to her? Was it to ensure that she gave her best to Kelsey? A glance over her shoulder showed the little girl fast asleep. Sara's gaze softened. Jason didn't have to worry that she'd be anything but nice to Kelsey.

"I'm going to keep on driving. That way Kelsey will get her nap in and we can get deeper into the country."

"Sounds fine to me." Sara said turning her gaze back to the rolling fields of knee high grass and wildflowers.

"How do you like what you've seen of London so far?"

Meera and she had gone out thrice. "I loved Westminster Abbey, the bookstores in Charing Cross road, and Portobello Market. Going around with Meera gives me an insider's viewpoint of London. She's full of stories."

Sara bit her lip. She had almost said that the sights and sounds of London had given her grist for the writing mill. She'd had to keep the correspondence classes she'd taken at eighteen a secret from Uncle Samuel. Having her lessons mailed to Claire's address, she'd worked on them after Uncle Samuel had gone to bed. No one besides her friend knew that Sara liked to write essays that were humorous observations on life.
