A/N-I wasn't going to write this because I'm as sick as a dog but I'm slightly better so I thought I would write this down. I'm breaking down this chapter so I can keep it bite size. Let me know what you think.
Alexis stood in front of a large building with four large columns in front and glass double doors and she turns her had and reads a brass plate sign that's drilled to the brick walls and it says-'Walnut Grove public library' and she takes a breath and goes in and goes straight to the large desk that has several workers and she goes to a older woman then asks,
"Um, excuse me, can you help me?"
The lady looks at her and kindly says,
"Yes?"
Alexis hands her the newspaper with the picture of the tree with the man standing beside it and she asks,
"What can you tell me about this tree? do you know anything about it?"
The elderly woman looks at the paper then puts her glasses on then says,
"Yes! Yes! I thought I recognized it! That's the 'Love Tree'" "What?" "Yes, it's been rumored that ever since it was planted along beside another tree that's nearby, whoever gets proposed; the marriage will last and there's been lots of proposes and marriages by that tree…."
The woman then lowers her voice into a whisper then says,
"And I'm one of them…been married 40 years!"
Alexis and the librarian share a laugh together then Alexis asks her,
"Do you know who this man is?"
The woman looks closely at the picture then says,
"No, can't recall him but let's go take a look at some old newspaper clipping, surely we can find something"
They go off in search of the old clippings and files from yesteryear.
