Ann Martin - Baby-Sitters Club 037

In return, Lewis sent me a postcard of Louisville, Kentucky. The picture was of a beautiful boat called The Belle of Louisville, and this was the message: He was looking forward to coming to Stoneybrook. He was looking forward to seeing me. I read the postcard at least half a dozen times and put it in my notebook.

Mary Anne teased me just a little that night when I tucked the postcard into the mirror over my dresser.

"So you're changing your mind a little about Lewis?" "He sounds . . . interesting," I said with a smile.

"Just interesting?" "Okay, he sounds pretty terrific." I paused. "But I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Remember how crazy I was over Travis?" "Lewis is different," Mary Anne said firmly. "Can't you tell from his letters?" I shrugged. "He seems different. He seems nice. And I don't think he wants to change me. We'll probably like each other. Just as friends," I added quickly.

"That's what I'm hoping for." Mary Anne sighed happily and flopped onto my bed. "I want you and Lewis to be great friends. Or maybe even something more," she said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Just friends will be fine." Mary Anne giggled. "Only time will tell." About the Author ANN M. MARTIN did a lot of baby-sitting when she was growing up in Princeton, New Jersey. Now her favorite baby-sitting charge is her cat, Mouse, who lives with her in her Manhattan apartment.
