The Escape

Chapter 9 - Madelyn Adélie - November 15 1923

I wake up and start the day by making a healthy breakfast of muffin tin omelets with broccoli, ham, and cheddar, crispy hash browns, and smoothies.

After breakfast, the stranger approaches me and says, “Hello, what is your name, sweetheart?”

I stammered out a reply of “M-Madelyn A-Adélie,” while I was blushing furiously.

“Well, Madelyn, it is nice to meet you, I am Wilbur Scarlet.”

He walked away.

After that encounter, my stomach fills with butterflies and I cannot stop thinking about Wilbur Scarlet. I began to do my morning chores.

After completing my morning chores, I make a healthy lunch of a buffalo chicken grain bowl, fruit, veggie, and cheese platter, and sesame instant ramen noodles with broccoli and soft-boiled egg. During lunch, I cannot pry my eyes away from Wilbur. After all, he is a handsome man. I completed my afternoon chores in half the usual time, wanting to go for an afternoon walk in the woods. He is there in the woods when I go on my walk, and it unnerves me as I wasn't expecting to see this 6'6 (198 cm)freckled god in the woods. I turn around to walk away, but a hand grabs my wrist and turns me around.
