Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"Well we are home."

"You're going to love my family."

I opened the door.

"We're home!"

"Mother, Father?"

"Who's we Lucas?"

I walked down stairs into the kitchen.

"Wow it's you the girl that washed up on shore."

"Wow you are very beautiful."

"This is my sister Caroline."

"She's the one that saved you."

"Thank you so much for saving my life."

I walked over to her and gave her a big hug.

"You're welcome."

She is a really nice person.

"Hey Lucas We are so glad that the young lady is okay."

"What's your name sweetie?"

"Um well I."

"She doesn't remember her name."

"She can't remember anything right now."

"I was wondering if she could stay until she remembers."

"Yes we would love to have her here and to help her."

"Where are my manners?"

"My name is Emily and this is my husband Dan."

"It's nice to meet all of you."

"My name is Mia."

"I remembered my name!?"

I felt myself smile.

"It is very nice to meet you Mia."

I smiled back at her.

"Hey Lucas can you get her settled into the room she will be staying in?"

"Yea."

"Right this way Mia."

"Wow this is really the room I will be staying in?"

"Yes and I am glad you like it."

"I don't just like it I love It."

"Wow it's so big I could fit my whole room in here and more."

"Wow really?"

"Wait, does that mean you remember where you live?"

"No sorry."

I looked down at my feet.

"Just my name and my room I once lived in."

"No that's okay I was just curious."

"I am glad your starting to remember things,"

"I will let you get settled in."

"I will be in the kitchen if you need anything."

"Okay."

"Thank you again Lucas."

"You're welcome."

Lucas and his family are really nice.

I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in."

"Hi Caroline."

"Hi."

"You look like a princess."

"Thank you."

"You look like a princess to Caroline."

"I thank you again for saving me."

"You are my lifesaver and I am truly thankful."

"You're welcome."

"You were carried into shore by the waves."

"Really?"

"Wow."

"So tomorrow morning there is always this really beautiful sunrise."

"Would you like to come with me tomorrow and watch it with me?"

"Yes that would be great."

"I can't wait."

"Cool."

"I will wake you up if you're not up when I get up."

"Do you want to play dress up with me or have a tea party?"

"Sure that would be fun."

"Yeah come follow me."

I followed her up to her room.

"Wow it looks like unicorns blow up in here."

"It's really colorful."

"I know right."

"Caroline!?"

"What!?"

"Food is ready."

"Yes."

"Food is my favorite thing to eat."

"Come on let's go."

She is really energetic.

I like her.

She's a lot of fun.

"MMMMM."

"What is that smell?"

"It's beef stew and my Mom makes the best beef stew and it's homemade."

"What is beef stew and homemade?"

"Well beef stew is meat, potatoes, vegetables, and water."

"Homemade means that someone makes it from fresh food."

"Oh."

"Well whatever it is it smells good and I am one hundred percent sure."

We all sat down and the weirdest this happened they started Praising the food.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

I couldn't help but laugh at what Mia just asked us.

"That's enough Lucas."

"Mia honey what we are doing is praying to God and his son Jesus for everything that we have."

"Oh that makes a lot of sense."

"Thank you God and Jesus for this delicious food that we have in front of us tonight."

Everyone looked at me weirdly.

"What?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

They all started laughing, did something I say make them laugh and what did I say to make them laugh?

"I did what you said you all do."

"Mia sweetie let me lend you a hand."

"Okay."

I held out my hand waiting for her to give me her hand which I don't know how she would give me her whole hand?

"I am waiting for you to give me your hand."

Once again they all started to laugh.

"Mia, it's just an expression to tell you that I will show you how to pray."

"Oh."

"Okay let start."

"Come Lord Jesus be our guest let this food to us be blessed amen."

"That makes sense now but where is Jesus going to sit?"

"Anywhere he wants to."

"Okay"

Thanking God and his son Jesus is relaxing and good I like it I am thankful they taught me how to pray.

"Supper was amazing thank you so very much."

"You are very welcome Mia."

"I am glad you like my cooking."

"Lucas can you show Mia where she can shower and get ready for bed?"

"Okay Dad I will."

"Oh no need I will take a shower tomorrow."

"I Am really tired and just want to get some sleep."

"Okay, that's fine you may go to bed."

"Sleep well and don't let the bed bugs bite."

"Okay thanks for everything."

"Good night, see you in the morning."
