Hannah tells me you’re an archeologist, she said. Drew’s father has followed in your footsteps. He spent the whole summer in France, excavating a Roman ruin.A spark of mischief flared in Andrew’s eyes. Why, it could be the other way around, he said. Perhaps I got the idea from Hannah gave Andrew a sharp poke with her cane. Luckily, Aunt Blythe didn’t notice that either.You have the oddest sense of humor, she said to Andrew. It’s a pity you spent most of your life overseas. I’m sure I would have enjoyed knowing you.To escape his sister’s reach, Andrew shifted his position. It’s strange, he said to my aunt, but I feel like I know you.Isn’t that funny? Aunt Blythe stared at him. Even though I’ve never set eyes on you before, I feel the same way.With a little guidance from Hannah, the conversation changed to Andrew’s years in South America. For at least an hour he entertained us with his adventures, which Hannah claimed were highly exaggerated.He never tells a story the same way twice, she told me. You wouldn’t believe how much more exciting they’ve gotten since the first time I heard them.
