“How about if we start with finding places here in New York that are a little bit like Britain? We could go for tea and crumpets. Or fish and chips. And we can look up British artists at the museum, too.”
“Jolly good,” I said in my best British accent. “But I’m still going to dream about going to London someday.”
Maybe I didn’t need to carry around a button in my pocket anymore, but my dreams were something else. I’d carry the dream of London around with me for as long as I had to, because someday it’d be my turn for another dream to come true.
And when it happened, I wanted to be ready!
