1299
I was in the kitchen when it first started. The news spreading around the town rapidly, the men from the crusades have landed. There were thirteen men from the country came on foot and six on horseback. Thomas of Thornham led them, supposedly like a hero. I left the kitchen and went to go and get ready. I stepped in to my long dress and did my hair. I did not have a mirror to see if I looked good, so I just took my friends word for it. I went out side where the men were arriving. Then that is when I saw Thomas. He bowed and we greeted, as he saw me shrink because I was so nervous. Later on at dinner that night we did not say much but it was all right another man conducted the entire conversation. Then I looked up, this was the first time where Thomas and I met eyes.
