Birch Creek, May 2003

It had been a very gloomy month, and nothing made Lou feel any better.

Poor Lou. She is so scared and confused and unhappy about what is going to becone her new life and Teaspoon isn't seeing it. :-(
No wonder she feels like Cinderella, when her own father seems to understand her suffering and does little calliys things without even realizing it (like letting the boys see the house before her...Rachel and Teaspoon should have chosen the house involving all the kids)
It doesn't help the fact that her future brothers are insensitive male teenagers, maybe with someone sweeter or a girl Lou could have find a connection and feel less lonely.
Can Lou talk with Emma about what's troubling her?

Yes, Lou feels very lonely here, but like children she is also a bit selfish. I know that Teaspoon and Rachel are the adults here, but she is so blind in her desire to have Teaspoon for herself that she can't appreciate the good things from Rachel.

Emma already tried to talk to Lou, but when she didn't tell Lou what Lou wanted to hear, I imagine Lou doesn't feel comfortable talking to her.

Thanks!!!
