There were a few instances when I was confused still more by the children. I wondered where my children were. I had always wanted children, but none of the fifteen or so children present at the party seemed to belong to me. Yet with all of the other thing going on, I found it difficult to focus on one thing to be baffled by. The entire scene was overpowering for me. Though no matter how confused I was I always had the game face on. I interacted and socialized well with everyone. Every person represented in that big, gray house, with the red front door, seemed to love, admire, and appreciate Will and I that night.
As the night wore on the guests too grew tired and made their way to the the door to leave. I bid them all good night and safe travel. The last of the guests to leave was Willard's father and mother, John and Roxanne. This was the longest fare well of all, they didn't seem to want to leave, but eventually the door closed and Will and I were alone at last. I fell into his arms with exhaustion.
“I love you.” I exclaimed.
“I love you too, are you alright?” was his response.
“Yes, I'm just tired and need to get some sleep.” I answered. I was tired, but more than anything I was trying to sort out the nights events. Dozens of people, caterers, my richly decorated dream house, crazy amounts of knowledge, newer looking vehicles in the drive that apparently belong to us, all of this with no children of our own. What in the world was going on? I was disoriented and filled with bewilderment. I climbed the stair to the second floor to find a bed. When I took a left rather than a right at the top of the stair, Willard inquired,
“I thought you were going to bed, not your study?”
“I am.”
“The bedroom is that way dear.” he said pointing to the right.”Are you sure you're alright?”
“Yes, just an ADD moment and tiredness.” I assured him.
“I will be up in a few minutes, I have to feed Azrael.” An old black and white cat sat at his feet meowing and looking toward a room off to the right on the main floor.
“I love you.” I said again, this time yawning.
“I love you too.” he smiled.
