CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

So Glad I Found You

There's nothing like a worksheet full of calculus problems to bring a girl back to reality. Lizbet chewed on the end of her pencil, then wrote her answer to the final question and set her pencil down to wait for the rest of the class to finish.

It was difficult to keep her unoccupied mind from the map she carried in her backpack. She reached under her desk, trying to get to it without drawing the teacher's attention. She slowly unzipped the front pocket and eased the map out, then brought it up to the surface of the desk where she flattened it and began to study it intently for the hundredth time over the past week. She turned it one way and then the other, trying to puzzle out Mona's location from the lines here and the squiggles there, but none of it said to her, "Here I am, come get me." By the time she saw the teacher heading for her, it was too late to hide it.

"Moore, what are you up to now?"

"Nothing, sir. I finished my worksheet and got bored, that's all. See?" She pushed the completed worksheet toward him. He reached for the cloth map instead.

"Give me the whatever-it-is. You know the rules. The only thing you do during the last ten minutes of class is get started on your homework. If you finish it, you just sit tight."

"Yes, sir. Sorry." Lizbet watched him move away with the precious cloth square, briefly looking curiously at it, then folding it and placing it on an empty space on his desk as he sat down to keep a watchful eye over the class again.

When the bell rang and she went to fetch the map, he handed it to her, asking, "What in the world can be so fascinating about a badly drawn picture of a pair of shoes in the woods?"

Lizbet couldn't help it. She reached out impulsively and hugged him. It made so much sense, and yet she hadn't seen it in the twist of lines the dryad had drawn. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
