Charles seemed satisfied with her answer. He hugged her and kissed her forehead as he said. "Maybe tomorrow… You'll see something different!"
Something different? What was different about Christina? Sarah didn't understand what he meant but was reluctant to think about it any further. Their road ahead was still uncertain in terms of what Christina was concerned about. For now, she was tired and didn't want to think about anything frightening.
The next morning Charles got up early but didn't disturb Sarah. Their maid prepared breakfast for them, and when everything was ready, Charles went to wake Sarah up. When Sarah woke up, she found that it was only seven o'clock in the morning. It was still so early, so she asked, "Why did you get up so early?"
"It takes several hours to drive to New Orleans, so if we don't get up early, we won't reach the female prison before noon."
