Dear Diary:
May 25
I'm so excited! Sarah and Harm told everyone about them today. I mean, I knew it would happen. I'm thirteen, not three. I got to stay a few extra days because of what happened, so we went to Bud and Harriet's house. I was playing with little A.J. while Sarah, Harm, Harriet, Bud, and the Admiral were in their kitchen. Of course, I wasn't allowed in because it was adult talk, but I eavesdropped.
Sarah did know I was there, but she didn't care. She told me that after we left their house. Anyway, little A.J. was getting his favorite ball, and so I stood by the kitchen door and listened. I heard Sarah and Harm tell them that they loved each other. It was so sweet. I felt so happy, I thought I would burst. The Admiral started to say something about their jobs, but little A.J. came back with his ball and asked me to play, so I couldn't hear the rest.
He started to get tired of playing with the ball a few minutes later, so we went to his bedroom and read some books. When Harriet came from the kitchen to put him down for his nap, I got to go turn on their TV, but I didn't watch it. I went back to the kitchen doorway.
By then they had stopped really talking about it, but I could see Sarah and Harm holding hands. It was almost dinnertime, so Sarah and Harm decided to leave. We went out for dinner, and they were both in really good moods. Harm joked with me the entire way, and Sarah sang along with the radio when our favorite song came on. (Ouch for my ears. Just kidding.)
They let me have dessert at the restaurant too. It was a really fun evening. I hope they decide to get married, but I don't doubt that it will happen soon if the way they're acting is any indication.
Right now, I'm supposed to be going to sleep because my flight is scheduled for ten thirty tomorrow morning. But how can I sleep when I'm this excited? Harm left a while ago, but Sarah and I watched a movie and talked for a while. I love having her for a big sister. She's so great. I wish I lived nearer to her and Harm, especially now that they're together. But I'll settle for a visit every now and then.
I suppose I should get some sleep. But I'll write again soon, maybe tomorrow on the plane if I don't sleep the entire way. Goodnight.
Love,
Chloe
