Oh my god I am such a ditz. This whole story I've been spelling Jeannie
wrong! My bad.
Back to the story. . .
"Jeannie don't be a fool! Why would you want to marry Major Nelson?" Her mother cried. "You won't be able to see me!"
"That is my point." Jeannie retorted curtly.
"Darling please reconsider!"
"No. Once I marry him I will never have to see any of you again. Especially that piggish cousin of mine."
"Jeannie I will not let you throw away your life like this. Now unpack that bottle and lets talk."
"Mother please! I am old enough to take care of myself! I am going now and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" But when Jeannie blinked herself back, her mother held on.
"Ah! Mother how did you get back here?"
The blue haired woman was silent for a moment. "Sweetie I love you. I don't want to let you go. But if this is really your choice, so be it. I guess you won't be seeing much of me for the next 50 years." She finally said, her eyes glowing with tears.
"I love him mother. I do-" Jeannie started.
"But Darling he doesn't love you!"
"What?!"
"Look I'll show you, he's dining with another woman!" She opened her hands to show a glowing ball of light. Inside were Roger and Tony seated next to two lovely girls.
"See my love? He moved on, why don't you?"
Jeannie was horrified. "No! No I will not believe it! Never Master loves me. He always will."
"Maybe you shouldn't have left him alone."
She let the sad truth sink in for a while and then spoke again. "I will go now. And leave you to marry this man. Don't forget to write!" And with that she was gone.
