With Love - 2

Dear Diary,

Hope you are good. I'm sorry for not writing to you more often. These days I'm a bit busy. Taking care of a person all by yourself is a bit hard. But don't worry, I'm trying. I'm doing my best. And to be honest, it feels great to have someone depend on you. Especially if that someone is the person you love. Jenna, she is eating properly now. It seems she has realised how much I love her. She doesn't scream anymore when I peel the tape off her mouth. But she does stay quiet a lot. I'm trying to make her talk.

But sometimes it gets on my nerves how she looks away from me. I wish she'd smile at me more, like she used to. I want her to laugh like she used to do when we hung out together. Honestly, I don't understand why she's acting so different now. This is almost the same as hanging out together. Like we used to. Just a bit more private. It's not as bad as she says it is. Ain't it? Maybe she's craving some fresh air. She has been in the room for almost 4 days now. I guess I'll take her out in the garden tomorrow. It'll be a good change of pace. It's great I found this house for such a low price.

There are not many people living here. And the few houses around are a bit away from ours. Honestly, I think this is great. Me and Jenna in this house. All alone. Just the two of us. It's like we're a married couple living in the wilderness. If I were being truthful, I wanted a house in the woods. But then, I read on the internet that getting network there is tough. It'd have caused problems for my work. And I can't risk my job. Not when I have an extra mouth to feed. Plus, filling up the food stock every week would have been a serious problem with how far the stores are from the woods. But if I were a guy, I'd have surely taken Jenna there. But I can't. Driving all the way to the stores and returning home, doing all those calculations and accounts. It'd kill me. Really.

But sometimes. Just sometimes, I think. Maybe it'd have been better if I were a man. Maybe Jenna would've liked me better that way. Maybe. Just maybe, Jennie would've too. But I guess it's futile to think about her now. She is gone. She'd never come back.

But, I'd never let go of Jenna. I'd cherish her forever. Like anyone would do for their loved one. Anyway. I gotta go now. I have to give Jenna a bath. She doesn't like getting sweaty. And I'm trying to please her, so that she'll smile at me again. I just want to see her happy. And these days when we're so close, I feel like I'd do anything to make her happy. And I guess I might, actually. But then again, that's what anybody would do, right? For their loved one? I'm just a normal person. Doing the same. Anyway. It's getting late. I gotta go now. I'll talk to you more later. Bye.

- Love, Minnie.
