Chapter 30

Billie: The flight was a torment. Every single minute felt like hours. The whole flight I was staring madly out of the window. My whole body is shaking. In my head there were many ideas about how this could work. I was scared, terrified of seeing her again... how will she react? Will she be happy or angry. I was so mad at Mike & Brian that they put me in this position... how could they do this to me? Confront me with it without giving me any choice. When I got to Minnesota, the first thing I did was go to an internet cafe. I had thought for a long time how I could find out Adie's address. Of course, I could call Eleanor or Steve... but I suspect that neither of them is on good terms with me, I don't know. I knew that Adie had opened a fashion store. I read about it in the newspaper a few years ago. It made me really proud because it was always her dream. *This is my girl* I thought proudly to myself. I quickly came across an address on the Internet. I guess this will be their company address. Should I go there? Or better call first? I browsed the page and hesitated a little when I saw the gallery. But the curiosity grabbed me.

A large picture of 3 people, Adie, another woman and a guy, the founders, opened.I couldn't tell why, but my lips formed a permanent smile when I saw Adie. She looked beautiful, just as she did then. She still wore her dreadlocks and had the same sweet rose cheeks.Her gorgeous dark brown eyes always catch me.My heart was pounding wildly.A feeling of happiness, love and joy came over me. I haven't felt something like this in 10 years.I kept browsing and found another address where letters could be sent.Recipient "Adrienne Nesser" Was that her private address? I guessed yes. With my newly acquired energy, I was on my way.I rented a car and drove to her. When I arrived, I was standing in front of a beautiful little house. From the construction alone, I was sure it was her house. I got out and went to the door and felt how my beating heart was going wild. The smile on my face got bigger and bigger... As I got closer, I saw that the door wasn't locked.I was a little worried and decided to go in... A last look at my watch showed, it was 8pm...
