"Uh.."

"Yes, Karen?"

"Uh- uh uhmm it's actually.."

"Forget it, you can't even expalin properly."

"I uh- okay?"

Awkward.

I'll just sleep anyways, he already knew that I lied so...

I rested my head on his shoulder.

He was a bit shocked at first but he allowed me to do so.

"Thanks."

"What do you mean, Karen?"

"Nothing."

And the travel went on as that until..

----

"Hey, Karen. Wake up, we're here. At Hopetown remember?"

"Oh, right."

I did some stretching first.

I'm still sleepy.

But.

We're here and I actually want to meet someone here.

"Uh.. George?"

"Yes?"

"Can I be excused for a moment I have to see someone here."

"I can't right now, we're in another country so I have to accompany you."

"Oh. Okay I guess."

With George at my back, I asked some people if they knew someone named Erasmus Stephanus Jacobs.

Thankfully, people here are so nice and all. Plus they're responding, America in the 1870s can't relate.

"We know him. He is the one who got the Eureka Diamond, my dear?"

"Karen."

"Yes, Karen. He's here."

I turned over to George about to ask him a question.

"How long are we going to be here?"

"About 4 days. Why?"

"Could I see Erasmus Stephanus Jacobs?"

"Umm okay? But why?"

"I wanted to know what he looked like. You know is he handsome, ugly, tall, short. I'm just curious and all."

He raised his left eyebrow.

"Uh.. Sure okay."

"Really!"

Yay!

My inner history enthusiast is whoozing.

I turned now to this wonderful and responding lady.

"Hey where is he?"

"I could take you and your friend there."

"Okay! Thanks ma'am"

She guided us to where this mystery guy is.

At this moment I feel like I'm stupid for thinking that he might be handsome. Who knows..

"We're here, Miss Karen."

"No "Miss" please I'm still young."

"Okay, Karen. I'll call him."

She went to this house and called his name, the dokr opened and she went to us again.

He said you're welcome to see him Karen.
