To my dear friend,
It has been six years since I last saw the Professor face to face ever since the time machine incident and my father's business was a great success that we can finally move back to London. I've been sending the Professor several letters of my own adventures and I finally get to meet him once again. Our ship arrived and we landed into the harbor and our cab was waiting. I wanted to walk around London after so many years that I decided to walk around town. After haggling for permission, I set off seeing the shops of Kensington, passing by Scotland Yard, and just enjoying the nostalgic feeling about the air and its memories. At that moment I crashed right into a young lady and several books came flying out. "Are you okay?" "I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and I - oh where are my glasses" "Don't worry, here let me help." I gave her glasses and picked up her books and walked with her. "Wow, such a gentlemen. I've met so many people, but none more chivalrous." "Well," I replied. "I had a mentor and friend." We walked down passing several streets and we talked to pass the time. "So how long have you been in London?" I turned to see her studying her books. " I hope they're not too damaged. Oh I'm sorry, I am known to be lost in thought. Well I have been here for a few days. I'm staying with my Uncle for several months since my dad has to go investigate in the Americas for a crime." "So your father's a detective!" "Yes, he works in Scotland Yard, but he's kind of a intense in his work that he forgets to come for dinner." "What's your mother like?" "I've never actually knew my mother. She travels the world doing who knows what and never visits." "I'm so sorry." "Well don't be. It feels like she never wanted to know me." "Don't say that! I bet she's missing you right now and every second is thinking about you." "Ah, that's sweet. I hope you're right. And here's where I stop." I turned to see the Gressenheller University's old campus. "Why are we here?" "I'm returning my Uncle's books. He works here and it seems someone is looking for you." I turned to see my parents calling for me. "Well it's been nice meeting you miss?" "Oh, I'm Claire, sorry about that." "And I am Luke, Luke Triton." I handed her books and said our goodbyes and left. "So my little man found a pretty woman." "Mother please." "It's just, I can't believe you're growing up and planning to go to college and I'm just proud and nervous and . . ." "Oh Brenda, Luke is a fine young man, you knew he would grow up and leave the nest." "But where is the fun in growing up." "Dad? Have you met the Professor yet?" "Yes, I assumed you did too, but I see you didn't. Don't worry, he said he will come for tea next week after we settle down. Now off to our new home." We got in the cab and drove off excited about meeting the Professor, but my mind was as well was focused on Claire.
