NATALIE ANSWER MY TEXTS
Maria sat on the swing, pumping her legs back and forth and back and forth. She smiled at her toes, her older sister had painted them bright red. Her toenails that is.
Alex jogged over to Maria, happy to see her smiling. "Hey Maria! How're things?" He asked her, sitting on the swing next to her.
She continued to swing, looking down at Alex as she did so. "Things are just grand Alex! My sister painted my toes red because my dad is coming home today!"
Alex's eyes bugged out of his head. "Really?"
"Really! All the way from Afghanistan!" Maria giggled as she swung, getting so high she had to shout for Alex to hear her.
"That's amazing Maria! I'm so happy for you!" Alex flipped his long hair over his shoulder sassily. Maria's father had been gone for two and a half years, and was missing in action for some time in the middle. Maria had gone through so much that it was so good that her dad was finally going to come home. Alex stopped Maria's swing by grabbing the chains. When she stopped he slipped his hand into hers. "Can I meet your dad sometime?" He asked softly.
