One night, we heard (hear) footsteps. It was (be) scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped (escape) in time. I was caught. (not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told my punishment was death.
I tried (try) to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened (happen). Many young people came (come) to the jail to visit me. They threw (throw) flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted (want) me to know that they, too, believed (believe) in love.
