Kaye:
It was unlike anything I had experienced before. I woke up to my mom bringing me bed tea.
It felt strange. The whole morning, Mom kept asking me about my plans for my herbs business.
The attention they gave me was unreal, but I was more happy that I was finally visible. However, the pain in my heart from watching Helanie hurt last night lingered.
The fact that she had been so honest when talking about her plans for the future also made me recall that I was the one who had convinced her I would wait for her.
I had been so wrong about this--leading her on and then acting impatient.
I had done her dirty, and that guilt had been eating me up the entire time.
"Kaye! A word--" Norman said, snapping his fingers in front of my face to get my attention as we all sat together for breakfast. He didn't stop or look at anyone else; he just proceeded to walk out of the mansion.
