Chapter 29 Advantageous Ii

• Erica's [POV]
• True to his word, Judge hasn't touched me again. More weeks have passed. I don't even know how long it's been. How long ago was it that I even had a life of my own? In some ways, it feels like an eternity. In others, it feels like no time at all has passed.
• As part of Judge's program for keeping me at a distance, he seems to find ways to occupy my time. I still rise every morning to clean the stables, and he's been letting me spend more time with the horses and dogs too. It seems as if slowly, he's giving me more and more responsibility. Now, in addition to the stable duties, I'm also spending my days brushing the horses and helping with feedings, as well as walking the dogs.
