Chapter 24 Precious Blood

• EMMA'S POV
• No one has ever offered me a gift before, that's probably the reason why this old blanket feels warmer than any other I have ever used. Stephen gave it to me when we came back from dinner and I couldn't help feeling on top of the world despite the fact that I can only use it for the few days I am allowed to live.
• I may be waiting for my death but instead of feeling scared I feel fortunate and grateful. I desired the things I have now throughout the years I was free and never got them. I longed to have friends and a loving family but all I got was hate. This may be a prison but I finally feel accepted and a little appreciated as well.
