Safe in his arms

I wanted to emphasize the relationship between Mandie and John. So I went ahead and did so. *Note: this is after they find John's will and before they find Elizabeth*

Chapter 1

John

I awoke with a slight headache. I fell asleep late last night. The next thing I know, my niece is on top of me, stroking my head. I grinned. "Good morning Uncle John." she says. "Good morning my little blue eyes." I say. Even though we just found each other, Mandie and I began to show a little more affection for each other. Her blue eyes shine like blue diamonds. So, I call her my little blue eyes. I have blue eyes myself, and Amanda claims that I also have eyes that shine like diamonds. But she calls me (aside from Uncle John) her Blue Knight. My little blue eyes hardly left my side. And when she did, she didn't want to leave me. Mandie was like the daughter I never had.

I had to go into town later on that day. I didn't want to part with my little blue eyes, but I had to. "I promise I'll be back home to you Amanda. As soon as I can, I'll race back home to you." I said to her. She looked up at me and smiled. Then, wrapping her arms around me, she said, "I love you Uncle John. I'll miss you."

I smiled back and said, "I'll miss you too, blue eyes."
