I'm Not Sad

George couldn't help but laugh. The coldness that he had just felt from Sarah was slowly soothed. He smiled and said, "Alright, Eldest Uncle will wait for you."

Amelia nodded heavily. "Yes, yes!" Suddenly, she stretched out her finger. "Eldest Uncle, pinky swear."

George held out his hand and Amelia hooked her fingers around his. She muttered, "Pinky swear, hang yourself. For a hundred years, you're not allowed to change." With that, she muttered to herself, "That's not right. Why would a pinky swear hang itself? And why is it only a hundred years?" She wanted to be with her family for a thousand years or ten thousand years!

Amelia hooked George's finger again very seriously. "Pinky swear, stamp, don't change for 10,000 years!"

George laughed softly. His laughter was pleasant and comfortable.

As soon as she returned to Walton's house, Emma ran out. "Mia, where did you go? You left without a word again!"
