Selling Myself
Only then did the feeling of fear begin to truly creep over me.
I didn't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, there was an unread message on my phone:
Dinner is ready. I'm waiting for you in the dining room.
Half an hour had already passed.
Panic flared in my chest, and I replied with trembling fingers:
I'm sorry, I fell asleep.
When I got down to the dining room, he was still sitting there, the food untouched.
Seeing me enter, he stood up, pulled out my chair, and then picked up a shawl to place over my shoulders.
