Adeline assumed it would be a while before she would hear back from Benedict. It had been a week but no reply. Perhaps she overestimated his gratefulness towards her.
The week went by fairly uneventful for Adeline. At times like this, she missed the internet. Other than the disappointment of not receiving a reply from Benedict, she was doing well. Dimitri slowly got used to living there, he came out of his shell and spoke more freely with her father and siblings.
