Dear Diary,
Boy was I ever so surprised when William gifted me with you. It seems a lifetime ago since I last had a place to record my thoughts. Life here is much…. different than I expected. When I first resigned myself to being stuck here, I didn't think I would be able to handle it, but now, I'm not sure I would want to be anywhere else. The Lord General is so kind to me, we often take walks around the property when there is nothing going on, and I seem to have gotten to know him much better than I would assume most of his soldiers do. He sometimes asks me about my plans for the future, what I'm going to do when the war is over, and to that, I can't give him an answer. I suppose if I am unable to find a way back home, I will have to do something, but I don't know what. Sometimes, he asks me about my relationships with his soldiers, whether any of them has caught my eye. I think he hopes I'll marry one. Whenever he does, I have to laugh. There is only one man that has caught my eye. Too bad he doesn't realize it.
