It wasn't as dramatic as you think (don't listen to me, I'm just trying to make myself feel better. It's not working, by the way)
Initially, Lisa was quite shocked. Then she started smiling.
I was so happy for her. Mr. Hearthstone was giving her the opportunity she needed, he was saving her life.
"Mr. Hearthstone, are you asking if I want you to teach me your timing skills?"Lisa said really quietly
"Yes, that was the idea"
"If my mom returns from France, will you let me come to my city again ?" Her way of ask make it like a bet, not exactly a deal
"I'll personally make sure that that'll happen"
Suddenly, I thought that was probably the greatest decision of her life so far "Are you sure you don't need more time to think about it?"
"Thanks, Emma, but like I said, there's nothing left for me here" She smiled and the turned to Mr. Hearthstone " Well, I think I already said yes"
I hugged her and for the first time I thought about the other spoilers, like Mr. Hearthstone being kidnapped and Lisa rescuing him. I felt guilty. I didn't read the hole book, I just knew the main events. What if letting Lisa accept the offer would , later on , get her badly hurt? At the same time, if I stopped the deal, Mr. Hearthstone would still be kidnapped, only this time there wouldn't be anyone to save him, because Lisa didn't take the deal. I was confused, but I kept my mouth shut. I'd bet Rosemary had the same questions I had, and this Rita the Otter helped her, so I guessed she would be the only person I could talk to. Pretty depressing.
"Emma, please, could you go pay our little snack?" Mr. Hearthstone said, while giving me a very old wallet "We'll wait outside"
I took the the wallet and mumbled "Oh, great, the deaf man again"
After I asked for the bill, he said he didn't know anyone named Phil so I gave up on that talk and just left twenty dollars on the table "You can keep the change" "Now you miss are talking about cages? This is a free country! Stupid fascist "
I was getting pretty close to kill myself (or rather, the owner) when I exited the pastry-shop.
"So, where are we going now?" The sun was setting and it looked like it was about to start raining " To Moryx?"
"Yes we are, Emma"
"Cool! And how do we get there? Tele-transportation ? Magic Spell? Potion?" Lisa was super exited and I have to admit I was curious too.
"More like a magic portal, sort of" The Time Lord said "Well, we better get moving. We don't want to make our host wait"
"Where are we meeting him?" I asked
"At his ah .... work place" The old man answered
"Who is he, anyway?" Lisa asked, curious as ever.
"His name is Geno"
"Geno as in Geno dell Venti?" Lisa suppressed a smile
"Yes" Mr. Hearthstone said
"Do you know him, Lisa?"
"Only by sight..." She answered near exploding from laughter
"Is he a Time Lord too, Mr. Hearthstone?"
Mr. Hearthstone was about to answer when Lisa exploded and started laughing. What was funny about me asking if Geno was a Time Lord?
"What, Lisa?"
"Can you see that orange building which has a bicycle leaned next to the front door?" She was still laughing.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?" I was starting to get mad because no one would explain me this strait
"That's Geno dell Venti's Pizzeria"
Ah. Ok. But why can't a man who makes Pizzas be a Time Lord too?
