Although Amelia started one of her new jobs in her place of birth (Nowy Sącz), in fact she didn't live there - she was staying at her aunt's home. She had lectures only at weekends, that's why it wouldn't make sense to rent a house or a room. As for her grandpas' home, it didn't belong to the family after their death and was inhabited by total strangers.
To tell you the truth, Amelia seemed to be fascinated with a new job, which gave her a lot of new opportunities. Working as a lecturer in National Louis University (WSB-NLU) was a challenge for a young woman with M.A., there weren't many Polish teachers of English there. The staff included mainly native speakers from Great Britain and the USA. Mind you , the Polish teachers didn't earn as much as their colleagues from abroad, though sometimes they were much better educated...
Two of the native speakers paid attention to Amelia - one of them was Neil, a typical Englishman suffering from melancholy or rather depression (fired after a few months), the other one, Lawrence was a Scottish boy of Polish origin. It was Lawrence, whom Amelia liked very much for his physical and intellectual beauty... They spent a lot of time together, discussing political issues, drinking beer and going for romantic walks. It was pretty nice, but it was over three years after - what a pity. It happens even now that he is still on her mind and she wonders:
"Dear Lawrence..do you remember me? I remember you very well."
