I don't own To Kill a Mockingbird
Scout's P.O.V.
I was determinded to see Boo Radley and ask why he saved by the Radley's yard I noticed the rose bush beside the iron must have been planted there during the trials or the days I never visited.I walked to the front door. Radley was at work whcih ment Boo was on the door my heart was racing and pounding.
The door opened and Boo stood there like he was expecting someone else."Scout,why are you here not that I don't like seeing you."Boo asked letting me in.I walked in slowly and said "I guess I wanted to thank you." Boo closed the door and turned on the lamp.
The tables and bookcases were spotless."Um Mr.B-Radley who's coming over."I asked noticed that he was dusting another bookcase with a sock. "My well uh fiance,she's coming home from Montgomery."Boo said as someone knocked on the door. I looked out the window and saw a tall,mid sized woman wearing blue trousers,and a white blouse with yellow stitching in the shape of flowers.
Boo opened the door and was attacked by the woman's hug."Sandra,we have a guest ; her name is Scout." Boo said. Sandra let go of Boo and said "Hello Scout." She took off her hat and her hair fell just above her waist. The dark brown ringlets held her face's shape just right. Her nose was on the small side but her eyes were bright green and huge,the same color of grass.
"Do you like to read?"Sandra asked brushing ringlets Bout of her face."Yep sometime's Atticus reads to me."Scout said. She smiled and said "I'm a play writer and I write mysteries,a few horrors." I looked over at Boo but he was asleep. Before he fell asleep I'd glanced over at him he'd been playing with her hair.
Maybe that was why she kept it so long. "Aw he's asleep."Sandra said smiling softly. I nodded and said "Maybe I should leave." She shook her head and and woke up Boo to tell him to take a nap upstairs. He nods and and staggers up the stairs.
"Boo told me you were in Montogomery."I said. Her eyes grew cold and she looked at me sharply. "His God given name is Arthur."She said. I nodded then realized what she ment and said "I'm sorry ma'm." Sandra smiled and said "I was there but mostly in the publishing offices and that was horrible."
I haven't read her writing but I figured it was good. "Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't write good."Sandra said slamming a leather bound book on the table. The book was made with leathered dyed blood crimson with the title The Drink Of Stars. She smiled and put the book in my hands.
"Thank you but what does the C stand for." I asked noticing the author signed it C.C. Sandra smiled and said "Casandra Cunnigham." I was wide-eyed. "But why aren't you with your Pa,or with another farm boy."I asked imagining her growing corn or milking cows.
"I'm 25,and I ran away because I wanted to write,Pa calls me a disgrace to the Cunningham Clan."Sandra said. "But you're getting married shouldn't he know."I said putting the book in a small pack I had brought.
"Well I don't know;besides no preacher will marry us."Sandra said sadly. "Atticus will."I said surprising her for she jumped up. She hugged me and started to cry.
Boo came down and sat beside her and said "We could just go up North and get married." Sandra popped her head up out of his chest and said "No we're getting married in Maycomb." I said good bye to the couple and left them.
I told Atticus what I had promised and he looked up from his paper and said "Well I don't know if I can." Aunt Alexandria was shocked. "No you will not marry them."She said. Atticus looked at Aunt Alexandria and said "Everyone deserves to be married to somebody."
