Today I ask Celine for a break, framing my reasons for this request as a perfect time to set up my next outing with Darius.
She lets me do as I please, but before, she had informed me Darius won't be back for a week.
Again, his time away won't be added to the challenge date.
I come to learn day by day that Darius is so generous.
I roll my eyes thinking such.
Better anyways, more time for me to think of what I can do to win the heart of a monster.
I ask Celine for the credit card, and we head out.
As we make our way to the hall, I pray to God Rosemary isn't on the stairs again, waiting.
Upon reaching the door leading to the hall, my footsteps slow down.
Anxiety settling in as I carefully peek out the door, hoping and hoping again she won't be there.
When I finally peer out the door, I breathe a sigh of relief as I find no one seated there.
