When Timothee returned home he saw a large Dinner laid out. He looked in the kitchen thinking he would see the moon girl, but instead saw her and 3 other women cooking.
" Darling who are these people?"
" They are my family"
She sounded unsure of herself. He saw the woman who kept stealing milk and eggs from his barn. The moon girl went out to the barn and must've met her.
The youngest woman ran up to him and gave him a hug.
" I'm so glad you proposed to her! You are obviously a lucky man of wealth."
That must be her sister. And the oldest must be her mother.
" You have saved my daughter from wanting to do something ridiculous with her life! We just wish we knew you courted her. I would've gave you my ring to propose to her."
Oh, she told them she was proposed to last night. She was smart. That way if someone thinks he kidnapped her it wouldn't look bad on him.
" Thank you Ladies for the kindness. Your daughter means the world to me."
After supper the 3 ladies went back to their home, insisting they didn't need a cart to take them home.
" Did you know those people?" He asked.
" No, I wanted to explore a little, and I met that woman in the barn. She knew this girl and told me she won't be stealing anymore. She brought the mother and sister and we talked."
" You didn't tell them anything that would make them suspicious?"
" No, I got the idea after I found this ring in your room. It's easier to say you proposed than telling them that you killed their daughter to become a vessel for a celestial being."
That night she slept in the plain room. The bars blocked the view of the moon. She let Joan go to sleep so her soul would stay stable, and slipped out the window to talk to the sun. The moon grew brighter as she returned to her place.
" Sun!"
He appeared with Vega.
" I am linked to this mortal girl. With your permission, may I stay with her until she doesn't need me?"
The Sun thought it over. " You May. Till death do you part."
" Thank you brother, you are very kind"
Her soul flew back down to Joan's body. Without her, Joan looked close to death. She would stay with her like the sun said, "Till death do you part."
When she returned, Joan woke up, carefully opened the closet and wrote on a second piece of paper
Day 2
I came up with a plan. I got to see my parents for the last time. Timothee will most likely want a small quick wedding. I am ok with that. I am connected with the moon by soul.
She closed the box in the closet and went to sleep.
