A family moved into the neighbourhood to start a new life. We gave them a welcome party. They had an adorable little girl who looked very quiet and sad. I said hi to her and told her a few jokes. She smiled.
Throughout the years I saw the family settle in and their little girl grew up. I would say hi to her and she would be chatty about school and stuff. She changed a lot but she was that same girl when she got sad about something. She would always open up to me about her doubts and worries and I showed her some encouragement. She would always be so happy after I talked to her.
One Valentine's Day she gave me an anonymous token of affection, but I saw her dashing away from the letterbox. In the letter she talked about her feelings for me.
When she came of age, she shared those feelings with me in person. She had become a beautiful young woman and she told me she loved me and wanted to spend her life with me. Our love blossomed and grew from strength to strength.
