Liesl ran out onto the front lawn. She stopped immediately when she saw a
telegram on the stairs, but no telegram deliverer.
"What type of joke is this," Liesl thought in anger. She noticed that the telegram was indeed actually for her though. Gently she opened it and read.
"Dear Liesl. I am sorry that I did such a horrible thing. You must remember your glass house where we danced that night. Meet me there.
Rolf "
Liesl gasped first with surprise and happiness, then with suspicion and pain. What would he say to her? Would it hurt her more or would it make her happier? The only way she would ever know is if she went to see. Taking careful steps she made her way to where they had been roughly a year ago.
"Rolf?" Liesl called his name as he stood with his head up against the door to the glass house and his back to her.
"Yes, it is me Liesl." His voice was different. Somewhat saddened.
"Why did you call me here, what do you want?" Liesl was still upset with him. He hurt her so deeply. Somehow she managed to love him.
"I want." his voice paused. He turned around and held her hands in his. "I wanted to say I am sorry." His eyes linked with Liesls's.
"Sorry for what? Sorry for the fact that you ran off for about a year, or sorry for your rude comments?"
"I'm sorry for both Liesl. I never realized how much you meant to me until I couldn't have you. I was lying in bed 3 nights ago thinking about what I did. I was so immature then. I still don't know why I said that to you, because the honest truth is. I love you Liesl."
Liesl was taken aback by his comment. "Oh Rolf! Just today I was thinking about you! About us! The funny thing is, I love you too Rolf." She blushed as he took her in his arms. Just like before, in almost that very spot, they kissed. This time Rolf did not run, but he then looked her in the eyes.
"I missed you so much Liesl. How have you been these past months?" Rolf and Liesl then sat down.
"Well, I've done a lot of thinking. I have finished school. I obviously still live at home, and Maria, the former governess is now my mother."
Rolf looked a little surprised. "Really? That's great! How do you're siblings like her? Most importantly how do you like her?"
"She's wonderful! She's just great! I like her, so do the rest of the kids. She's so lucky. She has everything she ever wanted and could wish for!"
"Don't worry Liesl, everyone will get atleast one thing in life that they want. You will get many things in life that you want."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because Liesl, you are great!"
Liesl blushed and was just about to give him a nice complement. "Thank you my dear Rolf. I-" Her words were interrupted.
"I want to ask you something Liesl. Will you be my girlfriend? I promise that I won't do what I did before, I can't live without you. My world was crazy before I met you, perfect when I was with you, and a wreck after I was rude to you. The thing that got to me the most was that I was so rude to you. I don't know what made me do that."
"Yes! I love you Rolf, I always will. I know what you mean, I can relate to that. Please don't feel guilty Rolf, we all say things that we don't mean. I forgive you, after all, we all need to be forgiven in life for something, and sometimes the worst thing in life is not being forgiven when you are truly sorry."
