Britannia All at Sea, chapter 2

Britannia announces her love for Jake to her parents. To my amusement, her father is bored by this, but her mother takes her seriously and talks to her for a few minutes. I could see my parents having a similar response to a "I've met a man whom I may never see again, and I want to marry him!" announcement.
Britannia's got some vacation coming up, and a friend who invites her to stay in the Netherlands. Of course it's ridiculous to think that Britannia would run into Jake while she's there, and Britannia even thinks that it would be ridiculous.
So of course, Jake lives just up the road.

Oh, sorry. I just had to pause to sigh and shake my head sadly.
So in an interesting twist on the adopted pet theme, Britannia's busy rescuing an injured bird when Jake's car - not a Bentley, but a Rolls-Royce Camargue - pulls up so that they can chat. As my mom would say: of course she is.
