Andrew and I were up in the tree for a really long time. Marilyn has to force us to get out. Honestly, I had kind of fell asleep on him, and when he heard Marilyn, he immediately jumped up and started climbing down the tree. I hit my head on the branch. "Oh, are you okay?" Andrew turned around to ask. I nodded. Andrew turned back around and continued to climb down the tree. I followed him down and into the cottage. On the dining table was a beautiful plate of rice and beans with some peas. "We have this a lot," said Marilyn. "We're limited." After dinner was over, I decided it was time for me to go to bed. Marilyn came in to say goodnight. "Sleep well, darling." Marilyn said and kissed me on my forehead. Then something very magical happened. I had gained enough courage in me to actually say, "Th- thank you." Marilyn turned around so fast I was surprised she didn't get whiplash. "Did you talk?!?" She happily asked me. "I- I did." She started gasping with joy. "ANDREW! GET IN HERE!!!" Andrew rushed in super fast. "Oh my god Grams, is everything okay?" Andrew asked.
"JOSIE SPOKE." Marilyn yelled.
"H-hi Andrew." I stuttered to say.
"Oh my god." Andrew said. We all stood there, jumping for joy. Finally, we all calmed down and went to bed for the night.
