"My Secret Life" July 11, 1650
Although George and I have gotten rather close in these past several months, I am starting to feel a stronger connection with Joseph. However, he is the husband of my best friend, and I cannot betray neither our friendship, nor their marriage. Both a marriage and a friendship are two bonds that cannot be broken, and I would not want to risk either one. My attraction to Joseph is more physical, when my attraction to George is more spiritual. He has been a good father figure to Emily since James passed. He tells her stories of his homeland, Scotland, and encourages her to be a good person. Aside from my secret affairs, my life is been a bit of a struggle lately, although I do not like to show it. I may soon have to sell some of my land. Times are hard, but I am making due with what I have. Although it has been hard, I put my daughter’s needs before mine. Emily is now seven years old, and has been showing more and more of her father’s personality. She was only four years old when he passed, so it astonishes me that she still has some faint memory of him still stored in her memory. She recognizes the cent in his old clothing that I have kept as a memoir, and surprisingly recognizes old sayings he used to say to her. Sometimes I wonder if Goerge would be a good father figure to her.
