Alexandra smiled at his words, finding joy in them. She found someone who loved her. Someone who genuinely cared for her and wanted to make her happy. Alexandra remembered the letter sitting inside her back pocket. She pulled it out and saw that it was from Eli.

"Eli wrote us a letter."

She looked at David opening it and reading it out loud.

"Alexandra and David. You two are the key. I'm glad your children have been able to come, Alexandra. It's a great joy to have the young among us. They can teach us so much. Always be watchin', lessons can be learned. Out of the mouths of the young come great prophesy.

I would like for both of you to do me a great favor. It will be a while before Lacey Rex, the young girl who grew tied to Elisha, is returned. In the meantime, I would like for you both to step in and help guide Elisha. He's confused and alone. He needs guidance from both of you. I'm sure you both get why. I hope to hear your response soon. Just write the response on the letter and lay it on your porch.. it'll be picked up.

Sincerely Eternal, Eli James IV.

She looked at David.

"Shall we do it?"

She smiled at him as they both nodded. Alexandra pulled out a pen and paper and began to write. Feeling as if she was beginning to build her own little family.

"Eli, Thank you for allowing my children to come here and be a part of our family. Thank you for bringing David into my life. I am so grateful to you for everything you have done for me. David and I would be honored to watch over Elisha and guide him on his path until Lacey should return to us. I feel that we both could learn as much from him, as he could from us. Thank you for believing that we are the best option for him.

Eternally,
Alexandra and David"

She kissed his hand and ran to the door, placing the letter on her porch. She walked back into the room, and walked over to David, taking his hand in hers, and climbing into the chair with him. She curled into his neck, kissing it softly, closing her eyes.
