Anastasia: She knew I was not comfortable any longer. I don't know what gave it away. Maybe it was because of how I seemed to huff in annoyance at her so-called husband whenever he passed me by the halls, or maybe it was how I made sure to skip meal times when he was going to be present. But that day, she knew I was no longer comfortable. Because she entered the room so early in the morning and tossed a new pair of shoes at me. I rubbed my eyes, her vision slowly turning from the blurry mess that it was to a clearer picture, her face and body coming into the picture frame. " I heard that your shoes are spoiled so you can wear these today" she said. I was probably too drowsy, or I was still too asleep to comprehend what she was saying because now, I yawned in slight tiredness. " Huh?
