Xirysa Says: I miss my grandparents. I haven't seen them in a year—they live on the other side of the world. Actually, I miss most of my family, since nearly all of them either live out of Michigan or in India. I WANT TO GO BACK I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE SINCE I WAS TWELVE NO I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER I GRADUATE. Stupid economy. Er, end rant.


My Poor Baby

He should be married by now. He should be married to a nice girl and already have a child or two, possibly more in the future.

I've told him many times, now, that he should settle down. He's a healthy, strapping young man. I know for a fact that many of the maids find him attractive—they've come up to me more than once asking if I could get him to speak with them.

And I have. At least, I've tried. I may be an old woman, but I am not as stupid and oblivious as everyone seems to think. I see how he looks at her and ignores all the other girls. I know that he thinks she is beautiful, because she really is.

I know that he loves her.

They are the two people closest to my heart. If it were possible, I would do everything in my power to keep them together. But she is a noble. And he is the grandson of her old nanny. At best, he is a commoner with benefits.

It may sound selfish, but I want him to forget her. But what I want and what I know is true are two very different things—without her, my grandson would be miserable

He should be married to a nice girl by now, hopefully a father. He shouldn't be in love with her.

My poor baby… I don't want his heart to break.


Xirysa Says: Granny's so epic, and I suspect that because her presence is a tad overbearing, she would have tried to get André hitched—if anything in an attempt to get him to forget Oscar. But she knows (as do we all) that he would have been miserable away from Oscar. She's just an old woman who wants the best for her grandson.
