CHAPTER ELEVEN

The café was buzzing with conversation. Nellie and Niles breathed in smells of coffee, sausage, bacon, and toast. A waitress in a pink apron greeted the kids and told them they could sit anywhere. Amelia sat alone at a table in the back corner of the restaurant reading a newspaper. She wore a brown jacket and white blouse. Nellie thought she looked strong and beautiful all at once. Nellie walked straight for Amelia, and Niles struggled to keep up.

A funny thing happened, however, as she got to Amelia's table. All the excitement within her swelled to the point of a spiraling frenzy. Suddenly, Nellie was overcome with the moment, with having traveled through time, multiple times, with the fact that Amelia Earhart sat only a few feet away . . . all of it consumed her. When Nellie opened her mouth to speak, no words came.

Amelia took notice of the children and looked up.

"Can I help you kids?" she asked.

Niles poked Nellie, who still couldn't speak.

"My sister, Nellie, really wants to meet you," Niles told Amelia. As much as he liked to tease Nellie about her occasional shyness, he wasn't about to let it ruin the moment. She had worked so hard and come so very far for this.

"Does she?" Amelia asked.

Nellie managed to nod. Amelia smiled.

"Do you want to sit down?" she asked them.

Nellie's eyes widened. "Yes!" she squeaked. Nellie scrambled into the booth, then Niles sat down calmly.

"I think you're amazing. You paved the way for women to do so much. I can’t believe all that you've done!" Nellie rambled.
