... I'm leaving tomorrow.
I keep telling myself that this isn't a goodbye, but in fact just a brief trip away. That I'll be back someday, and things will go back to the same steady pace that I'm used to.
I keep telling myself that I'll come back and continue tucking Caesar in while Father is away, and continue tending Mother's flowers now that she's gone. That my room won't in fact go unused for several months and collect dust that the maids will tend to.
Miss Apple wished me well. She said that Crystal Valley is quite beautiful, if not in the same way Gregminster is. She said I will learn many things while I'm there, and that she will take care of Caesar while I am gone.
Part of me wishes that I didn't have to leave home.
Another part of me is excited and determined to making a lasting impression in Harmonia.
And yet another part is resigned to the fact that the change is inevitable.
I'm leaving behind the books Mother used to read to me; I think they will be better left with Caesar. I'm going to bring Father's chess set; maybe I'll be able to find someone interested in playing, since Miss Apple has been the only one to play with me lately.
I can hear Caesar stomping around out in the hall. He must be ready for bed.
I don't know if I should tell him I'm leaving at dawn. He might get fussy and try to stay up all night.
I think I'll read to him. He'll like that.
Hopefully he'll forgive me when I'm gone.
