On the eve of Christmas, the road was covered in snow.

The noises from the carnival could not be blocked by Mr. Jazel's thick glass, but the fireplace and thick glass did keep the house warm. To check on his little angel, Mr. Jazel ascended the staircase. Her sixteenth birthday was only two weeks ago. Jazel has remained true to his word.

Allowing her to have a room on the first floor of the duplex. He gently opens the door as he walks into his little angel room . She was fast asleep . He adjusted her long curly hair that covered her nose and kissed his daughter while whispering "sleep well my dear ".

"Boom,baaa,kaboom", as the sound of the fireworks sounded all over the street. The time ran like an antelope trying to escape from a predator, "kaboom" a rocket type fireworks landed on the balcony of mr jazel House, sparkling bright shining white that brightened Lucy's room.Now that she was awake, her heart beat more rapidly.

She stepped closer to her room's window to see what was happening and used her hand to cinch her loose hair into place as she descended from her regal bed.

She observes various games and activities while grinning.

People in the funfair performed good deeds, and everything was in a frenzied state. Clowns were showcasing their talents, magicians performed their wonders, not forgetting animal circuits were being displayed. Unknown to Lucy, a person on stilts saw her from a distance and moved nearer the balcony.

She was still fixated on the spectacular fireworks that lit up thesky. Approximately seven meters from the balcony.

An object on the ground level struck the young man who was standing on stilts.He tried to maintain balance as he staggered on the stilts like a drunk. The stilt was crumbling.

"Help him, Lucy cried out, knowing what might follow.

Without realizing the danger was approaching, attendees of the carnival were laughing and having a good time.

Using all of his remaining strength, the stilt walker jumps forcibly onto Mr. Jazel House's balcony.

Saving himself while the wooden stilt collapses over a yellow Hugh canopy in the carnival causing pandemonium among the celebrants. He landed on the balcony and rolled himself like a Squirrel and smashed his back against the glass on Lucy's window.

"While tending to the wound on his back, he replied, "Huh.

Are you okay? questioned Lucy.

He responded, attempting to cover off his agony, "Am fine."

She said, "Let me help you," as she assisted the young boy in making a stand.

People remarked, "Wow, Hmm, Awnnnn," as they gazed in awe at Lucy.

A celebrant said, "How come I'm not familiar with this face," as others turned to look at the balcony, taking in the beauty and the action

Where are you, Lucy? "

Mr. Jazel made a call as he ascended the stairs.

He said, "Where is she?"

He searched her chamber and her magnificent bed but could not find his daughter.

He noticed that the balcony's tiny door was open.

He moved towards direction of the French door Lucy said, "Daddy!" as she ran to give her father a bear hug.

"Look what I found dad" she waves her hand,signaling the young lad to come into the room.

" And who are you?" Mr. Jazel asked as he raised his face in surprise.

"Ok I can explain" Lucy said,narrating to her dad the event that happened.

"What is your name?" Mr. Jazel asked.

" I am Luke, '' he answered as his voice stammered and tried to find some confidence.

"Do you know what the time is?" Mr. Jazel answered .

"Uhhh I think.." Luke could not answer the question as he was quickly interrupted.

" I want you to go home now," Mr. Jazel said.

" bye Lucy" he replied waving his hand and walking down the stairs.After seeing Luke leave his home, Mr. Jazel turned to his daughter and stated, "So you even told him your name."

He questioned, "Haven't I taught you not to reveal strangers your name?

But dad," she defended, adding. lifting her elongated face. He proceeded by telling his daughter a brief narrative, "People are callous and nasty."

Mr. Jazel urged his daughter as he led her back upstairs while holding her hand, "Now my angel get some rest."

"You know tomorrow is school, you need to relax," he says, wrapping his daughter's body in the comfortable blanket.

and extinguishes the light.

Not long, Lucy's father had gone from her room. She gets out of bed and makes her way back to the balcony, where she places a slender hand on the verandah.

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.
