"You" the first word he ever said to me.
"Count". I curtsied.
He waved off the man and stared at me.
I was uncomfortable. Scared. Terrified. Waiting for my heart to stop.
I'd drop dead and leave this fate behind me. But it was not to be.
He circled me.
Staring
No words
Silence hung heavy
I closed my eyes
Preparing for the worst
"You're different from the photo" I hear.
"Oh?!." I sigh.
Quickly. Rules explained to me settled in.
I eat then went to bed. I'd never felt so alone.
Turned and turned. Sleep did not come till later.
How was I going to live with The Count?
How?
