Dear Friend,
I swear I was going to turn into a mermaid if I kept scubba diving as much as I am.
Andrew didn't want me to scubba dive because of sharks and I could die if I was attacked by one. That was a risk I was willing to take though, I mean I was afraid of swimming for most of my life so I had a lot to catch up on.
The girls grew up to be children!
Lucy:
Savannah:
Lucas, Andrew, and I sat down one night and made the decision to hire a butler to stay at the house and help out with meals and cleaning up. So in the morning we hired one and she showed up the next morning.
She was pretty good, I was happy we hired her. It took a lot of stress off of me.
That was until today.
"Andrew, have you seen-"
I stopped in my tracks, they were... hugging.
She was smiling and flirting with him and he wasn't stopping her, or it didn't look like it.
"Mrs. Steele." Joan said.
Andrew whipped around.
"Sarah-"
"HOW COULD YOU!" I screamed.
"Sarah! I'm sorry I didn't mean it! It was harmless flirting!" He said.
"That same "harmless flirting" almost ruined my family Andrew!" I screamed at him.
"It didn't mean anything Mrs. Steele." Joan said.
"How about you go wreck someone else's marriage!" I screamed at her.
"You didn't have to fire her!" Andrew yelled.
"Oh, I didn't?!" I asked.
"I told you it was harmless, it won't happen again!" He yelled.
"MY FATHER CHEATED ON MY MOTHER ANDREW! TWICE!" I screamed.
We were silent for a minute while we glared at each other.
"He told her that it wouldn't happen again too, and then he turned around and he cheated on her again! My family was almost ripped to shreds in a minute and I almost lost my father forever. So I need to know if I made a mistake, because I'll leave and I'll take the children with me." I said my voice shaking.
"Don't do that." He said trying to hug me.
I backed away, "Don't touch me."
"I need to know that you are serious about this, about our marriage, because I took a chance on you. I took a chance because I dreamed of Grace having a father, because I dreamed of having a husband. So I need to know if you are in or out because I can't let the same thing happen to me that happened to mom." I told him.
He stood there for a minute, and I thought he was going to walk away from us.
"I'm in. I'm so totally in that it scares me sometimes. I love you, and I love our girls. I'm sorry I did that to you Sarah, I never wanted you to experience what your mother went through." He said hugging me.
I hugged him back, "Don't ever do it again please, don't ever leave me."
"Never." He said.
He walked into the room where Joan went.
"It's over, you need to pack your things and leave this house. We no longer need your services." He said.
Andrew proved me wrong later that night.
No, calm down he didn't cheat on me twice.
He proved me wrong because he told me mermaids were real. I told him he was absolutely nuts.
I saw one while scubba diving, and he was pretty cute too!
His names was Triton
But, I had this strange feeling that he was the type of guy who would leave a girl stranded on an island while she fought to stay alive and raise his three children.
So I left him floating there to pout and I went home to celebrate Grace's birthday!
She wanted to learn how to go boating, so we bought her a row boat. She loved it!
Well, its time for cake and ice cream so I will write soon!
Love always,
Sarah
