“Mother, this is weird.

I have no idea why I brought her to a house that is not mine.
Why I’m sure I’ll protest if Mr. Hartley or Mr. Haynes decide she can’t stay.

I guess it has to do with the fact I paid a price for her. Even if it’s one I
don’t understand. Or maybe it’s the fact she believes she belongs to me.

I’m now, in a way, responsible for her.

She’s counting on me”
