The Woman From Hell

Tomorrow was the day of prosperity Mrs. Fulmer had set. Fortunately, there was no need to get up early. I just needed to put on some simple makeup and the red dress she gave me.

I looked at Frank on the ground. He had his hands under his head and was staring straight at the ceiling. I could not tell what he was thinking.

I could not hide my excitement, but I was worried that he would change his mind, so I could not help but say, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

Frank shook his head and turned to me. His eyes were as clear as spring water. "No."

His pure and innocent eyes made my heart tremble. If he had not been born in such a small place, he would probably have been very successful.

I nodded, and with a bit of firmness in my tone, I said, "Trust me. I said I'll help you, so I'll definitely help you."

Our eyes met, and my gaze was filled with affirmation.

He smiled at me. "Since you trust me, I'll trust you too. Okay, let's rest." Frank staggered forward to turn off the lights.

The room was pitch-black, and soon, I heard Frank's breathing. I was unsure if it was because I was excited or for some other reason, but I had difficulty falling asleep.
