"We've been on this island for ever my dear I think it's time we build a ship and go on our way again," papa said. "Darling I trust you very much but that was the boat you built and you said it would hold us all the way to England. And we've lost a lot already I don't think we could take another blow," mama said. They had this chat almost every month and it was already the third month after school had started. I didn't seem to mind I loved it here very much. On every Monday, Friday, and Saturday night Derrick would wake me up at midnight if the moon was clear and take me to our spot. Our spot was a lagoon with a waterfall and on those nights if the moon was out you could see the moon shimmer on the lagoon.

"Dear Diary,
Last night was amazing at our spot, he even brought me flowers and then tucked me in my bed once we were home. I think I'm in love, I don't want to leave him when I go off to school. I don't want to hurt him beach use we've gone though so much already. Today is thanksgiving day and my mother won't allow anyone in her kitchen until she is serving food. I can already smell the chicken in the pot. Lain, John Luke, and Derrick went out to hunt this morning and should be home in time for lunch. I hope they are safe. Papa, Uncle Ben, and some of the crew from the ship we're trying to build a baby room for Samuel. My aunt was out in the garden getting tomatoes, pumpkins, and potatoes. Since everyone was doing everything I had to watch the younger ones play while i was reading a book or painting."

Derrick woke me up again, but something was different today was Wednesday. "Melon berry it's time to go to our spot and wear something nice," Derrick said. I shook my head in agreement I was too tired to say anything. I got up and got into my nicest dress and headed over to our spot. Once I got there I could here soft muck playing and smelled some pumpkin pie too, then I saw him he was standing at the table in a suit. "You look lovely tonight my Melon berry." "Why thank you. You look very handsome yourself." "Thank you may we eat." "Of course." He pushed me in my chair and we began to eat the wonderful pie, once I was done I said,"Thank you it was amazing." "My pleasure." We got up and we started to dance I leaned in a put my head on his shoulder, it felt good to be next to someone you love. We danced to a beautiful song and then I knew there that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I knew that whatever happened to us that this would be our song. After dancing for a long time he lad me over to a seat and we sat looking at the moons reflection cuddling together. The next thing happened surprised me he got down on one knee and said,"Will you marry me?" "Yes I will!" He slipped a ring made out of the driest grass and assured me that he would get a real ring once we got to Paris.
