Postcards from No Man's Land Chapter 23 Summary

Postcard

  • Hille and Jacob meet up, and Jacob shows her the story about his grandpa—she said she wanted to know who the guy was, so here it is.
  • Even though Jacob is still on the fence about showing his grandma, Hille seems to think this kind of thing happened a lot. It was the war; these things happen.
  • Then Hille brings up the kissing boyfriend position they'd talked about. He's a good candidate and all, but he's really got to live close enough to kiss her, so… she guesses he's out.
  • Darn. Jacob decides they'll meet again when he comes back to Amsterdam though. Agreed.
  • He gets out the matchbox that Ton first gave him, and asks Hille to write her number and address in there—this way he'll be able to meet up with her again.
  • At first, she's going to get off the train at the next stop, but then she decides to ride with him a little more.
  • Trust her to get him to the airport on time, she says. And with that, they're off.
