Chapter Twelve

Katie had looked adorable – sleepy, her hair mussed underneath her sweatshirt hoodie. My body hummed with warmth. It had been intoxicating to be so near her. I made it back to my seat and sat down. I put my travel pillow back around my neck and closed my eyes.

I shouldn’t have told her that I liked her laugh. It had clearly made her uncomfortable. I needed to remember that she hadn’t given me any permission to pursue her romantically.

She had blushed, though. I smiled at the memory. What an endearing, innocent thing. Blushing when someone says they like your laugh. And did it mean she was attracted to me, that she blushed when I said I liked her laugh?

Our flight landed in Egypt five hours later. It was early afternoon there, and we stumbled amidst fast-moving, clear-eyed travelers around us, drunk with the fatigue of a twelve-hour flight.

I hadn’t had it so bad as I’d gotten a few hours of sleep. But most of the college students had barely closed their eyes, and the other professors and I now had a troop of zombies in tow.

We made our way through the airport, collecting our luggage and passing through inspections. At last, we were standing outside the Cairo airport.

Professor Spaulding, who spoke Arabic, called a local taxi service and ordered a few cars to take us to our hotel. In another few minutes the first car arrived, and Professor Kittridge – an art professor with red hair – and a handful of students piled inside.

“No seatbelts!” Professor Kittridge shouted from the car, as if it was the most exciting thing in the world. She was grinning like a kid on Christmas morning.

I smiled. I’d remembered that, but a ripple of surprised exclamations passed through the students.

The next car arrived, and Professor Johnston got into it.

“You should go in the next one,” Professor Spaulding told me. “I’ll go in the last car. If you have any troubles, you can call me and I’ll talk to the driver in Arabic.”

His tone was brisk, matter-of-fact, as though we were an army and he was giving orders. I could tell that he was enjoying himself, however. His eyes were bright and his posture buoyant.

“Sounds good,” I said.

Professor Spaulding was an odd man, but I liked him. When I’d proposed this trip, I thought he might have asked me to marry him since he was so thrilled with me. But now I sometimes caught him watching me with a suspicious eye.

I decided it was nothing. Maybe just the way his face looked while he thought. He seemed friendly enough towards me still.

The next car arrived, and I got into it. To my utmost delight, Katie climbed in directly after me.

The car was a jeep, with seats placed vertically against the back windows instead of horizontally in the center of the car. I sat in the far corner on one side, and Katie sat right next to me. Annie climbed inside after her, and one other student – a boy named Henry – climbed in after her.
