"Hey Elsa! Whatcha doin'?"
"Hey Sammi. Kyle. Just headin home to get some rest. Didn't sleep well last night. Hows the garden?"
"Well the corn is a yittle dry, but the 'tatoes, 'matoes, chu-chini, 'cumber, and the ley-us are growin', growin', growin'!"
"Good job Sammi! You remembered them all!"
"Oh not all" said Kyle. "What about this one?" he says, pointing to the row of carrots.
"Uuummm, I dunno that one."
"That's alright Sammi, you did good! I'm gonna go take a nap, but I'll see you at lunchtime, okay? Save me some cookies!"
"Otay, Elsie!" says Sammi before getting distracted by a butterfly.
"Keep an eye on her Kyle. Dont let her wander too close to the fence. Still haven't gotten it completely fixed. It's just until the boys get back."
"I know, Princess." he says with a smirk.
Shooting him a dirty look, I head back to my house thinking just how lucky he really is. He still has his grandparents and his 7 year old sister. She is such an innocent little girl. Up until about a year ago, the poor thing hadn't spoken a word. Luckily she took my my brother, who's always had a way with kids. He didn't speak until he was 4, so he kind of had a connection to her that no one else did. Now we can hardly get her to be quiet.
I make my way up my porch steps, then head to the kitchen to get a drink. I decide to nap on my couch, suddenly too tired to make it up the stairs and a headache so bad I feel like I could vomit. I hope those boys make it back soon, my allergies are killin' me.
I don't know if I'm close at all, but I tried to have Sammi and Judith sort of similar in age. Hopefully y'all like it. I haven't been motivated to write recently but I still have a few chapters ready to be posted. Leave me reviews letting me know if you like it or not, I'd appreciate it.
