Chapter 2
Mandie
I ran into the house later that day. Uncle John had come back! I ran into his waiting arms and nestled my head on his shoulder. "Hello my little blue eyes." He said with a big smile. "Uncle John! I missed you." "I did too. I'm sorry I had to leave you but it was an urgent meeting." "My blue knight, I'm glad you are home with me again." "Let us go inside, I am very hungry and you must also be starving." "You know me!" I said, laughing.
"Come on then." he said.
We had supper and right after, we went into his library. He sat in a rocking chair near the lit fire, and motioned for me to sit on his lap. I was feeling a little cold and was glad for his comfort. He sensed that I was cold. "Blue eyes, you are freezing." he said, looking and sounding concerned. He took of his neat black jacket and wrapped me in it. It was of course, big on me, but it felt nice and warm. He leaned in and kissed my cheek. Then he pressed his cheek against mine and whispered, 'Now I can keep you completely warm." I nestled my head on his shoulder. It was weird to see him in his vest, tie, and shirt. But he was nice and warm so I just closed my eyes and fell asleep.
