A/N: Wow you guys! I asked for 5 reviews and I got 7! Thanks! I apologize
about the Julie/Isabell thing. Julie and Isabell are one and the same, I
started writing the story with the name Julie, and then I ended up changing
it to Isabell. Yes, Jade, there is plenty of TSOM forums, but my favorite
is here: Don't forget to go to

I gasp. I rub my eyes to make sure I'm not dreaming. "Rolfe!"
I cry. He hears me and turns "Liesl?" I catch up to him. "Oh, Rolfe, I missed you so!" "I've missed you too, my darling Liesl." We kiss. "Liesl, will you please forgive me?" "I have already." "Liesl darling. Wake up." My eyes shoot open. "Liesl, it's time to wake up." Mother is here. She always seems to be up before me. I'm so disappointed. It was just a dream. "Liesl, your Father and I are going to see if we can move into our house. We need you to keep and eye on things until we get back. Can you?" "Yes, Mother. I'll be dressed in five minutes." She leaves the room. I dress quickly and quietly, careful not to disturb Gretl or Marta. The house only had four bedrooms, so we had share rooms. Gretl, Marta, and I in one room, Louisa and Briggita in another, Kurt and Friedrich, and then Mothers and Fathers. I leave the room on tiptoe. Mother and Father are in the living room. "Liesl, we will be gone for and hour or two. The other children shouldn't be waking up till we get back, but you need to keep and eye on things." "Yes, Father." "We'll be back shortly." Mother and Father leave. I sit down. I still think about Rolfe. I wonder if he is still a telegram deliverer. I know! I'll go down to the post office and ask! I hope he still works as a telegram deliverer. Maybe I can send a telegram to this house and ask if he can deliver it! No, I don't think that would work. I got it! When we move into our old house I can send him a telegram and tell him to meet me in our gazebo. I'm so excited I can hardly wait! I want to scream and dance around, anything to let it out. But I know that would just wake up my siblings, and that wouldn't help at all. The last thing I want to do is wake them up on purpose. Oh what can I do? I guess I can go ahead and write out the telegram. I'll sign it 'Your Secret Admirer"! Oh, I can hardly wait until mother and father come home, so I can find out when we move! I hope they hurry. Maybe Rolfe and I shall dance together again after all.

What shall I wear? I think I'll wear my lovely pink one. I'm so glad that it still fits! We've moved into our old house. While I was sending the telegram, I found out that Rolfe still works there. My telegram said "Mr. Grueber, please come to the old gazebo at the villa Trapp at 8:00 p.m. sharp. Your Secret Admirer." Oh, I can't wait! I told mother about my plan and she approved of it. I glance at the clock. Five minutes 'till eight. I head outside to the gazebo and stand behind a tree, where Rolfe won't see me at first. Then I hear him coming. My heart starts nearly stops when I hear his voice, I haven't heard it in years. "Hello? Is anybody here? Is this supposed to be a joke?!" I can't hold myself back any longer, I step out from behind a tree. "Rolfe! Oh Rolfe it's me!" "Liesl? What are you doing here? I thought you escaped from Austria!" He looks so surprised! I must have been the last person he expected. "Rolfe, my family has come back to Austria. We've have our house back. Mother has had a baby girl. Oh, Rolfe, there's so much to tell you!" "I have a lot to tell you too, but first of all, I'm so sorry about what I did. The Nazis had forced me into their army, and they made me do things I would have never done. Will you forgive me, Liesl?" "Oh, Rolfe, I already have!" "Liesl, just one more thing." "What's that?" "Will you marry me?" "Why, Rolfe, I would love too! But of course I must ask Father and Mother first." "Wait Liesl, I would like to come over tomorrow and ask them. May I?" "Yes!" Oh, it's just how I dreamed it would happen, only better! "Now, let's get caught up." We talk into the night. Before Rolfe leaves, he kisses me. I wish this moment would last forever.
