I heard Matt leave as I sank onto the couch and closed my eyes. I didn’t even want to imagine what he’d said to her, but I couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had really left.
Was it really that easy? What had she said to him. Yvonne hummed.
“How do you feel?” She asked.
I shook my head. I was cold. Everything felt jittery with fear like I was just waiting for them to pack me up and take me to the auction house or that people were going to come to the house and take me away like before.
“I believe I told you to rest,” Yvonne said. “Though you did a good job putting your foot down. You’ll have plenty of time to practice telling them no, I’m sure.”
“I don’t know…”
Yvonne chuckled. “Trust me, they could use it. I take great pleasure in telling them no at every opportunity.”
