Chapter 2:
Her heart raced as she ran down stairs and out the fron't door her parents were out back still dancing away. She did not know what time it was only that it was very dark; but there were plenty of lights; for the spot lights in the back yard shone brightly as the sun.
Winne followed the sound of the music box she knew now that she wasn't dreaming. She looked for the light she had seen but could not seem to find it again. As she walked towards the end of the woods the music box seemed to be getting louder. Could it be them? Were they really here?
As she walked closer Winne visioned Jesses face; how she longed to see him once again. She thought about all the time that they had pent together the summers before. That was the best summer of her life. She had finally found a family inwhich she belonged and was really truly loved.
All of a suddon Winnie could hear voices. They were getting closer; her family gathering must have been coming too an end for soon people were appearing from behind the house and beging to swagger down the road towards there homes or too the Inn. Winne ran quickley into the house and up into bed. She had just pulled the covers over her head when she her her parents voices passing by her door. She could tell that they had drinkin alot of ale and were oviesly two sheets too the wind as some would say. As she heard there bedroom door close she could finally relax. She had really not been all that wrried anyway; It was not often that her parents checked on her once she was asleep.
The very next morning after she was finished with her studies; Winnie ran outside to the yard. She sauntered over towards the edge of the woods were she had her the music coming from the night before. As she got closer she noticed that there just beond the fence there were broken branches. Almost as if somone had walked through and made a sort crouching area to whatch from. Wouldn't it be awful if Jesse had been there? Only a few feet from were she stood the night before? Surely he would have said something;Surely he would want to talk to Winne just as much as she longed to talk to him.
Winnie's thoughts were suddenly interupted by the sound of her mother;calling her inside to attend her piano lessons. Winnie hated her teacher. She made Winnie practise for hours on end and if she did no thit the right key at the right time she must begin all over agin. These were some of the most dreadful tomes of Winnies day. But today would be differnt. Winnie would have cheerful thoughts and dreams to drown out the schreeching voice of her instuctor. Only thoughts of the Tucks would be in her mind. Thoughts of her and Jesse dancing in each others arms to the sound of a peacful melody. Just as she turned around to run into the house there at her feet was a great Bullfrog with the same spot on his back only this time he was with his mate. This could mean only one thing. The Tucks were in her midst and love was in the air once again.
