holidays together. They had even planned to continue working part-time their junior year to help fund the trip. Jane joked that Lacey just wanted to be on the same continent as Anthony again.
    Lacey often replied, “Please, if even ten percent of Europeans are as good-looking as him, I do not want to be tied down. I’ll sample them all."
    They planned on ringing in the New Year in London after spending Christmas in Paris and touring Holland. Lacey was really pushing for a day in Amsterdam to try the local coffee house wares. The trip-planning was becoming so much fun that they discussed doing the same thing the next year with Australia in mind, seeing as how the weather would be summerlike there that time of year. Or maybe even New Zealand.
     
    Chapter 4
     
    Once back at school to start their junior year, they again opted for a dorm over an apartment so they could still have access to the cafeteria and save funds. Plus, it just worked for them. With all of their prerequisites completed the year before, they sadly did not share any drool-worthy professors this year.
    Before they knew it, it was holiday break again, and they were holding hands as they sat in their seats wanting for the plane to take off. The night before their flight they had again made their annual pilgrimage to their favorite Tacky Light Tour houses. Trip or no trip, they could not miss that.
    This was Lacey's first trip overseas and Jane's second. Lacey leaned on Jane during their time in France. Jane spoke choppy French, but since she had been there so recently, they somewhat recreated the trip she had taken with her parents. Lacey had one special request. They had to go to the Moulin Rouge, and it was amazing.
    Once they were in London, Lacey had all of the details of the hottest spot in town to celebrate New Year's. Otherwise, they went to all of the main attractions; Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and Big Ben. They even managed to get their picture taken in one of those red telephone booths. Then, they rode around (freezing) on the upper level of a double-decker tour bus. Lastly, on New Year's Eve they recreated the Abbey Road album cover with a couple of random cute boys Lacey sweet talked. The boys had nothing planned that night so the girls now conveniently had dates!
    When New Year's came, Lacey smooched her Brit, and Jane gave her Brit a chaste kiss on the cheek. Their trip was well worth all those hours washing and folding spa towels the summer before. They returned to school ready to take on the rest of their junior year.
    Not long after their European vacation, Lacey began dating Liam. That was how Jane met Wyatt Huntington III. She had been on a few casual dates throughout college but had mainly kept her head down and focused on her class work. Lacey, on the other hand, sometimes seemed to be majoring in boys. Lacey, now dating Liam, had talked Jane into going on a double date with his friend, Wyatt.
    Wyatt Huntington III was a celebrity of sorts on campus. He resembled Robert Redford in his hay day, and all the girls wanted to date him. Lacey had purposefully omitted that Wyatt was the blind date because Jane never would have agreed to come otherwise. She would be far too nervous. As they approached the table, Lacey observed Jane’s eyes widen in recognition and look around the restaurant for emergency exits. When they sat and ordered, Wyatt was a perfect gentleman, and Lacey was thrilled for her friend.
    Wyatt was well-liked on campus and seemed to be as interested in Jane as she was in him. On their first solo date, he took her to a local restaurant just off campus. It was crowded with other college students, and many of them seemed to recognize Wyatt and were curious who the pretty brunette was with him. When they were seated, Jane nervously began twisting her napkin on her lap. When she realized Wyatt was watching her, she flushed.
    "Nervous?" he asked.
    She nodded.
    "Don't be." He was very charming. "Ever been here before?" he
