My mother came to speak to me today while I was brushing my youngest sister's hair.
Madeleine's mother said that we would be able to have lunch when Madeleine had a break from working on the farm with her father. I wish she will come soon.
Last night, I saw Madeleine through her window as I prepared my siblings for bed. I imagined myself there with her, dancing and laughing like my mother does with her friends. I cannot wait to meet her and become close friends with her.
I cannot help but think of what we will do together when we finally meet. When my mother is with her friends they always have a joyous time. I know I will dream of lunch with Madeleine tonight.
