Father's Return     

     I couldn't take my mind off Red from the moment I woke up. I thought of him, and how I would visit him later on in the day. So, after making an excuse to leave the house, I had a twenty minute walk to Thomas and Levi’s house, only to find that Red was long gone. I was so disappointed, and I felt all the excitement from before drift out of me. So, I had to walk all the way back to the house with nothing but disappointment.

     Once I neared my house however, I realized that Bett, the housemaid had ringed the emergency bell because she had thought I had gone missing. So, I hurried home, and Bett told me that my father had come home, and wanted to speak to me.When I went to my father, he asked me where I had gone, but I couldn't tell him I was looking for Red! So, I decided not to answer his question, and instead, informed him of mother Mercy’s cold. He didn't seem to really want to care about that issue, but at least it was enough to get his mind off of where I had gone. My father never stayed home very long, so I wonder what he would be back for this time.
