She observes how carnival revelers were packing up their belongings as the celebration was coming to a close.

From the balcony, she looked around to see if she could spot Luke, but she couldn't find him.

Lucy remained in the balcony for an additional thirty minutes, watching as everyone departed in unison.

She sighed and turned to shut the balcony door when she noticed a piece of paper lodged in a tiny gap in her vanrander.

She extended a hand to it. And she opened it tenderly.

She thought to herself as he opened the paper, "What might be inside?"

She thought to herself, "Today is just so fantastic.

Luke wrote the letter she just finished reading.his addressed the letter to his mother and included the addresses of his residence in bold italics on the final line.

Lucy tucks the letter under her bed and plans to introduce her friends to Luke when she visits Luke and his family in the future. While she was still fantasizing, she had several thoughts,

Lucy was now fast asleep.

Luke was receiving care in the neighborhood bay in the interimm He pondered who she might be as the doctor attended to his wounds. After tending to Luke's wounds, the nurse advised him to "get some sleep." Luke laid his head on the medical facility. He was sound sleeping and heaving.
