When Rhian had left the orphanage, she had gone back to keep her promise to carl. She took carl's watch and placed it in a nice envelope, and addressed it to him. She could only hope that he came for it.
Inside the envelope was her apology to him. She had apologized for making him suffer. She knew that carl would probably think it was all a bluff, but she had done what she thought was right. After all, there was a chance that she would never make it past the twenty minutes that followed.
She had gone back to her van and had driven to the nearest public washroom and cleaned herself up. If she was going to die, she wanted to be clean. She wanted to be the nice beauty that she already looked like.
At least her mother would be proud of her this once.
