Liesl came down the steps into the main hall of the house and then
out to the patio extending to the lake where the Captain waited with his
arms crossed. She could see the outline of his face by the moonlight and he
was cleary very angry.
"Father! Let me please explain to you what happened, please!"
His face shot over to her so quick she wished that she'd let him speak first.
"Liesl! How could you! He is unloyal, and unfaithful! First he was perfect and sweet to you and then he kisses you and leaves. Then after a year he's still a telegram deliverer and you're going to school and he comes back. You somehow forgive him for wronging you and then all of a sudden you two are floating around in a lake! What got into you Liesl? I thought that you had more sense than that! I thought you were a smarter person than that! I thought that that part of your life was over and that you were going to move on! I thought that you wanted better for your life than an unitelligent telegram deliverer!"
Fury rose within her. "We both still love one another! Just a while ago I was thinking of him and how I missed him! I found out tonight that he also missed me!"
"But how can you be sure of that Liesl? How do you know he wasn't making it up?"
"Father! He wasn't! I could tell buy the honesty in his eyes! Also, love got into me Father, love. I thought you could see that since you and Maria had found love. What makes me loving someone not make me seem smart? Is is that you think love is for fools? Rolf is a telegram deliverer, but that doesn't mean that he will be one forever! Can't you see that love means not having to say you are sorry because the other person knows instinctively! Can't you see that I love him? I don't care what job he has! He could be homeless but I would still love him because he loves me!"
The Captain had almost never been this mad in his whole life! Either that or he was never this mad before, he couldn't tell which one, but was not in the mood to try to decipher it. Nothing could make him overcome this. Liesl had disobeyed his feelings, then again, how would she know his feelings towards Rolf. He had never spoke them. "Go to bed Liesl. I will figure out what to do with you in the morning. If I don't than I am planning. Remember, if something is too quiet than something is going on." The Captain walked briskly back into the house and left Liesl outside where they had argued.
Father will never understand the love that Rolf and I share. Love is different for each couple, and others just can't always understand the love that two people have against the love that they share with that certain person that loves them. Love is so undescribable.
Liesl went back upstairs and then was in bed before anyone had gone to bed yet. She didn't even go say goodnight to them. She would normally tell her siblings good night, and Maria and Father too, but she didn't want to run into Father. Usually at this time at night everyone would be in the main parlor playing a game or singing or listening to the radio.
I should just go to sleep right now, I have to get to the Ballhausplatz to see Rolf tomorrow morning and I have to look great for him. With that final thought things grew dark and fell asleep.
