April 10, 1947

A strange day…

This morning on waking, I had to run to the bathroom to be sick. Yuck. I ate dried toast and sipped some water, which seemed to help some. With my stomach settled, I had a slow walk to work.

As soon as the library doors were unlocked, Richard walked in. He’d given me such a weird look before he went to find whatever book he’d come in for that I felt a chill run up my spine. He didn’t leave with a book though, as he left, he glared at me, and then he stomped out.

His behavior was odd. After what Jayne had told me yesterday, I still found it hard to believe. He seemed so genuine when he said it was his father making him ask me to marry him. Now I really didn’t know what to think.

“Rose, can you come into my office for a minute, please?” Mr. Young asked, taking my mind off Richard.

“Yes.” I walked into his office.

After he cleared his throat a few times—horrid—he looked at me. “Take a seat.” I sat down. “Rose, I’m afraid I have to cut your hours. The library isn’t as busy so I can’t justify having as many staff.”

He just sat staring at me. I wasn’t sure what he wanted me to say. “Okay. From when will the new hours start?”

He seemed relieved. “From May 6th.”

I would be gone by then. I felt like telling him what to do with his job, but I wouldn’t give Father the satisfaction of knowing I’d given my job up.

Only four more days to go! I feel so apprehensive, but excited, for my new life with Jacob.

Before going to bed, I played cards with JT, who was so infuriating. He cheated—all the time.

I really wished I could take my brother with me. I would miss him more than anyone.
