18.

~A Few days later......~

My reflection stares back at me as I spend time taking care of my hair. It's one of those chilled days but I am anything but chilled.

I feel quite exhausted to be honest and would love for the day to pass by, without anything triggering or attractive for stress to give attention my way.

I've kept to myself like I have always done but this time, I made sure that none I know could get a hold of me. I need time to myself and have been making damn sure, to make it possible.

It's been quiet and I've liked that.

I instantly regret standing before the mirror for too Long, because soon I find myself getting lost in time. My thoughts take me back to that night and once again, an unwelcome unsettling feeling takes over.

~ Days ago.~

William has finally left the room and joined the rest of us. I haven't missed his eyes glancing my way a couple of times, not making any secret that his attention is on me. Mrs Myers
