"Evolett! I'm so glad your back!" cried Mamo as I walked up to her and gave her a hug saying "Its only been two weeks mamo, its not that long." I smiled at her smiling face. I heard papa's accordion playing from inside of the house, I let go of mamo asking "Does he still play that old thing all morning and at night?" I asked as we headed to the front door, I shivered in the cold of winter and pulled my coat around my figure tighter. "Sadly, yes he does. I can never get him to stop playing." I smiled again as we walked into the kitchen and papa stopped right as he heard my voice "Evolett darling! Come here you, your taller than I remember." I giggle a little and give him a hug "Papa it was only a couple of weeks, I don't think I could grow that fast." I sat down in a chair in the small kitchen where I shared many enjoyable memories. Mamo snapped me out of my thoughts "Well Evolett we have another guest that is staying here, her name is Leslie. She does never talk so except any conversation from her at all." I nodded my head and I went up stairs with my bags, I found a small pale girl with curly honey colored hair in two pigtails. She looked up and I smiled at her when I set my luggage down receiving a small smile back. "Hi," I said walking towards her with my hands out stretched, "my name is Evolett. You must be Leslie." she took my hand and gave me a hand shake before quietly asking "Are you here because of sugar rashions?" I shook my head. "Why would I be here for sugar rashions?" she sighed and looked at the bed next to her, "Because thats all I am to Mama, a girl for sugar rashions." I sat down on the bed next to her "Mama will soften up on you, trust me. It will take a while but she will, trust me. Until then I think we could make good friends, would you like that?" she nodded an Mama came upstairs. "Girls dinner is almost ready, I'm making my vegetable soup, Ev can you please help me?" I got up and grabbed my whiskey flask, well its my fathers but I took it before I came here. "Mamo can I make some bread?" she said yes and I quickly made whiskey bread.

---------------------------------------------Dinner

---------------------------------------------

We were eating dinner and in the middle of dinner a nock came at the door. Well it wasn't really a knock but more like a banging on the door, Leslie came down the stairs with a worried look on her face "Evolett go get the door please." Papa said and I got up and went to the door. I grabbed the handle and when I opened it I saw a young, very handsome man with short black hair holding a red book. "Papa," I called out looking the man up and down as he did the same to me, our gaze was broken when we heard Papa's heavy footsteps approaching. "Are you the man that still plays the accordion?" he asked and Papa's eyes got wide "Max, get in here, quickly, now!" He rushed in but looked weak like as if he never had food for a week. I followed Max and Papa in after I locked the door. "Max! You look sick, Hans, Ev, get him up stairs, now!" ordered Mamo and we took him upstairs. That seemed to take all of his energy because he started to sway a little and reach out for something to grab onto "Ev, get him." said Papa quickly and I wrapped an arm around his skinny waist keeping him strait up. I looked up at him and he returned my gaze giving me a small weak smile. I walked him to the bed where Papa pulled the blanket back and propped the pillow up, I sat him down gently picking the blankets up and covering him up. "Thank you..." he said trailing off "Evolett, but people call me Ev." I said smiling "Evolett, Evolett." he said barley above a whisper turning my name around in his head. Mamo came up moments later carrying a bowl o soup followed by Leslie who sat down on her bed. "Here Max, you must be starved." she sat down on the bed and Max straitened himself up. I sat down on the same bed as Mamo tried to feed him soup, he ended up puking the soup back out and I turned my head away quickly but then brought my head back up when Papa was snickering. "No one really likes her soup, son, don't feel bad that you got sick." Mamo gasped in surprise and talked back "Evolett loves my soup, don't you sweetheart?" I looked at her with wide eyes "When I was five, I don't like your soup as much as I did when I was five. And beside I only ate it all because I was starving after my two hour long trip." she sighed and shook her head. I got and idea got stood up quickly running down the stares with Mamo calling after me, I sliced two pieces of bread and ran back up and sat down on the bead "And you think he would want your bread, your cooking?" I glared at Mamo and said "Open, please," he did and I placed a small chunk of bread on the tip of his tongue, "just try it, its good. No one has rejected my bread before." he chewed with his eyes close slowly. He opened his eyes with a smile, "That was the best bread I have ever had," I smirked and looked again at Mamo and Papa started laughing while Leslie was giggling, "may I have more?" I nodded my head and gave him the rest of the bread saving one slice for me, "What bread is this?" he asked "Whiskey bread, I got the whiskey from my father-" Papa cut me off "YOU STOLE WHISKEY FROM YOUR FATHER!! WERE YOU WANTING TO DRINK!!??" I sighed and shook my head "I am never going to end up like him Papa, I wanted to see if you guys would like whiskey bread." he said an I'm sorry and told Leslie and Mamo too finish supper. "Leslie," I motioned her over as she goy up from the bed, "the trick to eating the soup is to soak up the broth with whiskey bread and to just eat the veggies. But watch out for the carrots, they can be sour tasting." she smiled and gave me a thanks before heading down stairs. I walked to the other corner of the room and made the bed where I would be sleeping on since Max took my own. While I made the bed I started humming my favorite tune, "What song are you humming?" Max asked finishing up the bread, I said not turning around "Its called For You, my friend from the university is a singer and when her boyfriend broke up with her we made a song together." I said and he said "Well, can you sing it for me?" I chuckled a little and started singing

'For You dear,

loose my tongue to talk dear,

no whispers in the dark dear,

for you I would,

And if you dear, found my words were unclear and my voice you can't hear

For you I would

Write you a poem

Just to let you know

I would write you a poem my love

For you dear,

Loose my legs to walk dear

No footprints in the chalk dear

For you I would

And if its true dear

That your deamons are near

And your drowning in tears

For you I would

Build you a boat

Just to keep you afloat

I would build you a boat my love'

I finished singing the song and I sat down after smoothing out the last blanket, "So, did you like it?" I asked and he smiled nodding "It was good, I just can't really find the meaning of it though." we locked eyes and we checked each other out, he is tall, slim, still buff a little, dark black hair with slightly bushy eyebrows, strong jawline and beautiful brown eyes. Unlike me I have raven black hair, blue eyes, I'm really tan, average length, I'm not skinny but I'm not fat and I like it that way. I was snapped out of my thoughts by him chuckling "You alright Evolett?" I sighed and my cheeks became red in embarrassment. I said "Goodnight Max." when I turned over in be after getting under the covers I thought I heard him say "Good night beautiful Evolett." but who knows what I heard before I fell asleep.
