I do not know whether to accept their preposition or deny it completely. It is an amazing concept that I do want to accept. I want to stay with Maria for as long as time. I suppose that it is an exaggeration and a large jump since we just met last month, but I haven't seen any girls for the longest time and she hasn't seen any boys. So we are what we have. I can deal with that. I don't mind this one bit. I actually enjoy it.

  I talked to Maria and some others in the village. One of the people I talked to was Alena, Maria's little sister. Angelo brought her up to talk to me. As to why, I have no idea. I am the most unimportant person for her to talk to, yet it seems that I am the first. I want to stay in this warm village forever. This is perhaps the happiest I have been in a very long time.
