"A Promise is a Promise" ~o~ Chapter 1 ~o~
In the summer of 1934, Dill Harris asked me to marry him. I was never really sure if I would or not, but I did feel something for him. We were young then. That was years ago. It's been 16 years since I've seen Boo Radley and 8 years since I've seen Dill. We did write often and sent pictures of each other but I never saw him face-to-face. Every now and then I miss him but I lived for 8 years without him.
Well ever since Jem and I grew up, we changed. I finally got out of my overalls and started to wear dresses and every now and then I wear overalls. Jem went into being a lawyer, just like Atticus. He was a good lawyer, too. Atticus remained at our old house while Jem and I moved out. Jem married his high school sweetheart when they were 22 and they're happy. My niece, Emily Jane Finch, is my happiness in life. She brings the joy of my whole family. One day when I went to visit Jem changed my life. I walked over to Jem's house and knocked on the door. Isabelle, Jem's wife, greeted me.
"Oh, Scout! How good to see you. Please come inside," Isabelle said. I stepped inside and I walked into the living room. Then Isabelle asked, "Would you like some coffee?"
"Sure. Thank you." As Isabelle left little Emily came in. Her 3-year-old self walked toward me. Smiling, she gives me a hug. "Hey, Emily. How are you?"
Emily smiles at me and says, "I'm fine Aunty. How are you?"
"I'm just fine, Emily. Is your father treating right?"
"No," Emily giggled. Then Isabelle came in with two cups of coffee.
"Thank you, Isabelle." We started talking when we heard the front door open.
"I'm home!" a voice yelled. Emily smiled and ran into Jem's arms. Isabelle got out of her seat and kissed her husband. I had to stare. They were such a beautiful family. I got out of my seat, too.
"Hey, Jem," I said to him.
"Scout? What are you doing here?" Jem asked as we hugged.
"I just came here to visit. And have you treating my niece kindly?"
Jem laughed. "Of course I have."
We talked some more until I said that I needed to go home.
"Oh, Aunty, do you have to leave?" Emily asked me.
"Yes, but I'll be back soon. I promise," I told her. I said my good byes, put on my hat and left to my house. As I was going back I saw a man on my porch, looking around, as if trying to remember something. As I walked toward him, he turns around and faces me.
"'Afternoon, ma'am," he said.
"'Afternoon. Can I help you?" I ask the stranger.
"Well I hope so. I'm looking for someone named Jean Louise Finch."
I stare at the man with scrutinizing eyes. He had snow-white hair, which stuck to his head like duckfluff. His blue eyes sparkle in the sun. He looked familiar to me. Then my eyes widen.
"Dill?"
to be continued.
