I left Isaac and ran back home. I made it just in time. Enough time to start breakfast. I grabbed a basket and walked over to the community garden. I picked a bunch of strawberries, oranges, and a watermelon. Then I went to the chicken coop and grabbed two eggs.
When I got home dad was already awake.
" Morning sleepy head." I said trying to make it sound like I've been up for a while.
"Morning sweetheart. "
" I got some eggs this morning. "
" Good. We need protein. "
I cooked the eggs and chopped up the fruit. Then I made orange juice. I made sure to save some for when I see Isaac. I brought out the food and the juice.
" My my my. A feast. What's the occasion?"
In my head I said " I just had the best night of my life with a guy I really like." But I couldn't say that. But my dad said something else.
"I think I know. Someone finally decided on a suitor. Great I'll call Marcus tomorrow! "
" But dad..."
" I know I know. Don't worry I'll try to stay alive a little longer. To help you two get started. "
There was nothing I could do. He just insisted. I have to tell Isaac. But how? I don't know how he's gonna take it.
After that I went to find Mary and Kida. To tell them what happened.
"Are you serious? He just assumed you want that? " Mary said
" Yeah. I don't know what to do. He was so happy I just don't want to ruin it."
" So you would rather marry a stranger than tell him you're in love with the enemy? " Kida asked.
“ yes... no... I don't know! "
