It would mean letting Evelyn win .

As soft as Ann pretended to be , there was steel in her .

Besides , in that moment , being free didnt sound all that bad .

I gave her a casual smile .

Then I sliced the ribbon with my claws .

It fell in two neat pieces on the ground .

I think I need the company of a woman who knows how to please me .

That would show her for trying to bait me .

I turned and left the room .

As I closed the door , I heard a muffled sob .

It was the most heartbroken sound Id ever heard .

I froze .

I wondered if I was wrong about everything .

Was Ann a victim of her family ? Did she truly love me ? No.
