That’s Anna’s last name!” I went back to the door. “Are you an O’Toole?”

“You mean the rock? No, that was here long before I moved in, but it’s too heavy to move.”

I slumped onto the bike. For a second I’d thought I’d gotten lucky.

And guess what happened then? It started to drizzle. Again.

“What’s with the weather here?” I asked Finn.

“It’s an island. We get a lot of rain. But just look around at what we get for it, all of this beautiful green.” We called Mrs. Buck and told her we would pedal to Newcastle, look for Anna, get gas, and bring it to her. She really couldn’t argue. My back and legs got plenty wet on the ride.

“It’s only about fifteen miles,” Finn called over his shoulder.

Only fifteen miles? Pedaling was really hard, and Finn was getting far ahead.

I looked down and noticed that my back tire wasn’t exactly round. It was more like egg-shaped, which made it turn with a little hump each time around.

Snow globe moment: I’m riding a broken bike through Ireland in the rain wearing donated clothes, and a handkerchief on my head, with a boy (correction—a cute boy) who I’ve known for about twenty-four hours. If you look closely, you can see that the girl in the glass globe is developing blisters on her bottom. She wipes rain off her face, and she feels the beginning of a très grand zit.
