Lydia 

Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? How long will it be before we get caught? How long will we be each other's destroyer?

RANI

I saw Lydia run into her room crying. I run after her and she collapses on her room floor she lets out a strangled cry and her whole body is shaking as sobs fall out from her lips. I sit on the floor and hug her not really knowing what to say and she turns and cries into my dress and I caress her hair until her sobs are reduced to quite sniffles and a blank dead stare. I just sat on the floor and held her until she finally sighed until she let me go and she looks down at the floor but spoke.

"I can't keep doing this Rani."

"Doing what?"

"Hurting him. Breaking us..."She says.

 I nod silently she talking about her and Isaac. I couldn't help but be moved with pity for her. She clearly loved this man and it was heartbreaking seeing her so unhappy.

  "How did you and Isaac happen?" I questioned. 

"It all started 2 years ago...I was at my balcony I had just had an argument about finding a suitable husband and I heard music it was Isaac playing the fiddle it sounded beautifully haunting i watched him play until he realized that I was listening his eyes showed fear like i was going to hurt him. I shook my head no. I wasn't going to say anything. I ran and wrote him a note i knew he could read it he was one of the few that could read. The note said:

I won't tell keep playing its beautiful.

I dropped the note and he caught it and he smiles and puts it in his pocket and looks up at me and winks. I turned red and my heart skipped a beat but I smiled back as he faded into the night back home in his house on the plantation." She smiles telling the story and I could help but smile too. Her story was cute and Isaac was something similar I wanted a love like theirs, but more importantly I wanted their love to prevail because I can see just how much she loved him and he in return. The sun was setting meaning it was almost time for dinner.

"Lydia, its almost time for dinner we have to get you ready." I spoke softly she nodded.

And we got her ready and we walked down to dinner.
