Catherine sat down before her dressing table and stared blankly at her image in the mirror.
"I'm fine, this is part of the plan" she said trying to reassure herself, but a tear escaped her eyes; immediately, she buried her face in her palms wailing bitterly. Just then, there was a gentle tap on the door. Catherine hurriedly wiped her face with the back of her palm before her mom walked in.
"Baby, your friend is here is to see you" Mrs Stuart said.
"Who is it?" Catherine asked
"It's Gregory..." Mrs Stuart replied. Catherine was taken aback, but she was a bit reluctant.
"What is it dear?" Mrs Stuart asked, but Catherine kept mute
"I'll ask him to leave" Mrs Stuart spoke again, but this time, Catherine stood to her feet.
"Never mind mom, I'll go see him" she said walking to her closet to get changed.
Gregory stood to his feet as soon as Catherine approached the living room.
"Hi" he said calmly, but Catherine barely smiled.
