At a pretty age

Act 1 Scene 3

Little (or maybe not quite as little anymore) Juliet is turning 14 on July 31st! Can you believe it?! Today her dear mother, Lady Capulet, had to have a talk with Juliet and I was invited to stay in the room. I was just so excited! I knew that the talk would be about how mature sweet Juliet has become and how it is near time that she started to consider marriage. How wonderful! I just can't help going on and on about all the adorable memories I have of that girl. There's just so many things I could say and so many stories I could tell... I am afraid that perhaps I irritated the Lady? I simply can't help myself. I do wish that the Lady would just loosen up a little sometimes. However,  Juliet did not seem very surprised by the topic. And, as it seems, the handsome Paris has his sights on fair Juliet! Isn't that sweet?! I think he would suit Juliet quite nicely. Tonight at the ball in the Capulet mansion Juliet and Paris will dance and, hopefully, fall in love! I wish they will, for I want nothing else except for the happiness of my Juliet. She is like my own daughter anyways, and I want her to have the best.
