When we pulled into Walterboro, Father needed the loo again, so I got off with him. Finding the photo album in my case, I took it out, closed the case, and put it back in the storage area.

I remember when people came back from their holidays and showed Mum their snaps, I’d always make some excuse and leave them to it. But Father Gibson seemed really interested in the photos and the stories behind them. He even said Will looked like a, ”Very nice young man.” I had to agree with him about that.

“It feels really odd me talking about my boyfriend, or someone I hope will be my boyfriend, to a priest.”

Jerry patted my knee. “It’s wonderful to see young love, no matter what form it takes.”

“I don’t know how long I’ll be able to stay with Will or anything. I mean I’m British, he’s American, and…” I started to feel sad.

“If you and Will are meant to be, then trust me, God will find a way for you to be together.”

“Yeah.” This was the first time he’d mentioned God, and I was all right with it.

“Maybe you’ll be able to find a job over here? Though I imagine leaving your family may be more difficult for you.”

“Yeah. There’s only me, Mum, and my Gran. I lost my job not long before I flew over here.” I told him about Amy and how I used to work for her dad, and how when she dumped me, the job went, too.

“I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, Graham, but maybe you losing your job like that was a sign.”

“Uh, I don’t know.”

“Think of it like this. If you hadn’t lost your job, would you have gone on that particular tour?”

“Uh, maybe, but I’d have had Amy with me.”

“And so you wouldn’t have met Will, or at least not have been open to the possibility of seeing as much of him as you did.”

“Yeah, they mucked up his reservations and he had to bunk in with…“ I felt my face heating up.

But Father Gibson was great—in fact, he laughed really loud. “See what I mean? It could have all been planned to happen the way it did.”

“You think?”

“Who knows? But isn’t it a comfort to think some higher power has been looking over your shoulder, guiding things so you could meet and fall in love with Will?”

I wasn’t sure about that, but it was a nice thought.

Again, Father Gibson needed to get off the bus when we pulled into Orangeburg. I decided to go as well. Every time the bus stopped, the priest got off to pee. Made me glad I wasn’t old.
