Chapter 42 Emmi – Going Back

• Instead of rushing to open the box, I get dressed, careful not to mess up my hair, slowly putting on the jewellery and attaching the knife to my thigh. Opening the final box, I smile. This one is a hath-pool. Putting it on, I place my other items in a bag and walk out. The woman is simply smiling at me.
• “You’re a bit late, but you’re worth the wait, I’m sure.” She smiles, and I walk out. Sitting in the car, I hold the roses in my hands, my legs shaking. Glancing up after a while, I panic.
• “Where are we going?” Why the hell are we in Solace? He doesn’t answer, just continues to drive. “Let me out!” I am not going home. I watch as he drives closer, the panic rising within me. Are they really sending me back home? I feel tears fill my eyes, hitting the glass between the driver and me.
