Many things have happened beginning with Mademoiselle Reisz’s statement that Robert loves me but was trying to forget because I am not free. This has made me feel quite energetic. I have made some decisions to change my life and have let Leonce know that I will be moving to a small house of my own. Of course Leonce has covered up what is truly happening by remodeling our old house. I have also had a kiss which has opened my eyes to feelings that I haven’t felt in a long time. The kiss was from Alcee. Alcee has been showing me a lot of affection and trying to spend lots of time with me. It meant nothing because it was not from the one I love but it has changed the way I have been thinking about things. I had a fantastic party with a few friends before moving from our old house to my new one. I also spent time with my children Raoul and Etienne on their grandmother’s farm. It was wonderful to hug them and spend time with them. However, now that I am home I am feeling alone again. Will Robert ever return? Will I be able to fill this emptiness I feel? Only time will tell.
