After dinner we went for a walk while Adele was doing her homework.
_ok Sophie, now you tell me what is going on with you.
_what do you mean Aunt Sarah,there is nothing wrong.
_No..not that with me, i know you, you are exactly like your mother was.  it shows in your eyes that there is something on your mind.
_Believe me aunt Sarah, it's nothing.
She did not let go until i start talking about Maxime and finally ran into the house in tears...
_Ha!...there you are..said aunt Sarah.
_Sorry, aunt Maggie i will go back to my room.
_Oh...no you won't, you sit down young lady and you listen to me.
She started talking about Maxime and about the fact that i was passing by love.  And that a love like this does'nt come by too often.  It is a once in a lifetime thing.  She also said that mourning my father was ok..but that it was enough now.
_Sophie you are a lovely young lady, put away those dark dresses and start living again.  You have been a mother to Adele for the last 10years..you were just a child yourself when your mother passed away..it is time to think about yourself for a change. Tomorrow night i want you to put a nice dress and invite Maxime over..and don't say no. If you don't want to see him..i do.
