Hazel held John's hand and allowed him to escort her into the room. It felt safe to have an adult person to trust. And John was kind to her too. She smiled up at him.
"I don't know what refine means, but if you want me to do it, it's okay by me."

"It means, to make better" he said as plainly as he could "her name is Isabella Handle, she used to sing for an opera house back where she comes from. She's a registered nurse and is helping out with the revolution, she's very kind and very nice and I'm sure she'd be glad to help you."
"Yup an she bakes some cookies you'll jus' melt fer!" Marie piped up.

Hazel looked up at them.
"Wow. Of course I want to sing better. I'll work hard to make that happen. Isabella is a very pretty name. I have never been inside the opera house, of course. Orphans are not welcome there."
She looked over at Marie.
"What is cookies?"

Marie grinned "You'll see" she looked over at her father who it seemed was still trying to hide back tears.
"Yes, she does make some amazing cookies, she'll probably teach you at her house, but you'll often visit the opera house. She worked there for a while and became friends with the managers, so you'll get to see places in the opera that the public normally isn't allowed to see."

Hazel looked up at John and Marie with a smile. "I look forward to it. I want to work hard and become a great singer and earn money, so I can repay you for all the good things you have done for me." ((This is where Wild's wish for John will be fulfilled: What he gives, he will receive in tenfolds... ))

John smiled "We'll see" he kissed her on the head and then kissed Marie "good night girls" he said walking over to the door "sweet dreams" and blew out the candles.
"I think yer gonna be the best singa in aoll'a France" Marie whispered.

Hazel smiled and turned to the direction where Marie's voice came from. It felt nice to lie down and whisper with a friend in the darkness. It had been strictly forbidden in the orphanage.
"You think so??" She whispered back to Marie. "If I become a great singer, I'm going to return here to sing for the poor people as well. No matter how famous I become I will never forget where I come from."

Hazel giggled.
"Oh, I know. Chances are that I'll never become something else than another starving artist. But still it is nice to dream."

Marie rolled on to her back "Or not" she smiled and slowly drifted to sleep.

Hazel drifted off to sleep as well. There was a happy smile on her face, and in her arms she squeezed a stuffed monkey.

**NEW DAY**
Hazel was laying on her bed, trying to get to sleep.
Sighing she looked over at Marie.
"Hey" she whispered "hey!"

Marie grunted at the first hey, trying not to listen, but at the second hey she knew her sister wasn't going to stop.
Turning over with a sour look she replied with "What!?"
