Chapter 11

After I finish the second pancake, I rise from my chair to clear the plates.“Princess, sit down. I can handle this,” Festar says. He takes the plates from my hands and carries them to the sink. I try to help anyway, but when he turns back and sees the dirty bowl I am holding, he steps closer.“Anna, what did I say? You don’t have to—” His fingers brush mine, and the bowl slips. It shatters against the floor, batter splattering across the room.I feel the sting in my feet, but panic presses harder. I drop to my knees and begin gathering the shards, desperate to clean before he gets angry.“Anna, stop. You are bleeding. You are walking on glass barefoot.”I freeze, staring at my bloody footprints. My chest tightens as I wait for his anger, for the strike I have braced myself for a hundred times before.Instead, Festar lifts me from the floor and sets me on the counter.“Stay here, Princess. Please.”When I look up, I see not fury but concern. His eyes linger on me as if I am fragile gl

“Anna? What’s wrong?” Festar’s voice is low, uncertain. His eyes are locked on me.I do not answer. What is there to say? If he plans to touch me like they did, he might as well do it now. The timing is perfect. I am weak, injured, unable to fight back.What I never understand is why I cry every time. You would think it gets easier, that after enough times my heart would learn to go numb. But it never does. Every time it feels like dying all over again.Tears slip down my cheeks. I close my eyes, waiting for it.Instead, after a long silence, I feel a hand brush my skin. Not harsh, not punishing, but soft. My eyes fly open, and Festar is staring down at me with an expression I cannot comprehend. His thumb moves slowly across my cheek, wiping away my tears. His eyes glisten, heavy with something I do not expect—sadness.“Princess, I do not know what goes on in your head. And trust me, I wish I did. But whatever it is, I need you to understand one thing.” His voice cracks, and my heart

Chapter 13

We spend the rest of the day in his bed lying down, watching movies and him bringing up dinner, which was just a couple of sandwiches and chips. The night passes smoothly, but as soon as it becomes time to go to sleep, I get nervous. Aside from waking up under his arm, we haven’t been physically close all day. Will he want to cuddle again? Do I want to cuddle again? “Princess, do you want to go to bed now? It’s nearly midnight,” he looks over at me. Right now, we are both sitting on the bed after just finishing another movie, Titanic. That was a really sad movie. I just nod my head, and he goes to get pajamas and a new shirt for me. “Do you want to shower again? You’ll have to take a bath so you aren’t standing, and I’m not sure if you can get those stitches on your feet wet.” I nod my head, and he picks me up and brings me into the bathroom. He sets me on the counter, runs the bath, and helps me sit on the edge of the tub. “I’ll be back in about ten minutes, okay? I’ll be right

The whole day passes rather quickly. In the morning, we painted our nails and toenails. I painted Callie’s, and she got so excited when I added a little red heart on her big toe. Callie painted Hazel’s, which Hazel ended up redoing after, and Hazel painted mine.After that, we had lunch, which a nice girl named Brittany brought up for us. Once we finished eating, Hazel asked if I wanted to get a haircut. My hair falls past my waist and is extremely hard to manage, so I agreed.“Okay, so I’m having Cassidy come here so it’s easier and we don’t have to go all the way across town. She should be here in about fifteen minutes, and it’ll only take around half an hour or so,” Hazel says.I just nod and glance over at Callie, who’s passed out on the couch, her little hand clutching a half-empty nail polish bottle.“So, how have you been? Festar’s been nice, right?” Hazel asks, looking at me with a teasing smile.I laugh softly and nod my head.“Good, because I wouldn’t want to have to kick hi
