Perchance with Hope

Melissa , stay away from that boy ' Mrs . Peterson demanded of her daughter , who clung dearly to Andrew . They were at the doors of the Peterson Estate . The sun has long set , and the entrance was lit by bright lamps on either side of the door frame . Melissa and her lover came in the hopes of convincing Mrs . Peterson that they have to be together

Why can 't I be with him , Mother ? I love Andrew ' Melissa pleaded

br Andrew tightened his hold of her hand . All he could give then was support . He should not interfere just yet

What can he give you ? He is poor . When you go with him , you 'll go hungry . Go back to the school where I sent you , and find a more appropriate partner there . You could be happier ' The older woman tried to reason . The moment she found out about the relationship they had in school , she panicked . She could not imagine losing her daughter to such a despicable life . Now , come inside and let him go

Melissa walked up to her mother and Andrew 's face was indescribable But before the younger woman was within reach of her mother , she stopped and stood still . Her eyes were filled with hot tears , and her face was tinged pink . But she was smiling through it . I am happy with Andrew Mother . We talked about our future and we also saw a lot of challenges But you know , when we 're together like this , it feels like we can do anything . So despite the problems we see ahead of us , we know we 'll make it ' Melissa paused to bite her trembling lips . I can 't be too far from him , Mother . That is why I flew back home to see him . Then we came here , hoping that you could finally accept the relationship we have

Andrew walked to stand behind her and held one of her hands . His grip was firm , but calming . Mrs . Peterson , although my family is not as fortunate as yours , we all try to work hard . We are aware of our responsibilities , and we see them through . I love your daughter , Ma 'am I would like to spend the rest of my life with her , if you would let me

Mrs . Peterson looked at either face , and hope was completely written there . She tried to look closer . She needed to be affirmed that they were sure about this . It would hurt her to see her daughter struggle through poverty , but it would hurt more if she was unhappy . So she took those extra steps to her daughter and gave Melissa a tight hug . You have my blessings...
