Chapter 23

Around lunchtime the next day, Katherine really did call me out to the garden. Just as she’d predicted, my hair shone brilliantly under the sunlight. “Fredia, look in the mirror. Didn’t I tell you it’s just lovely?” “Yes… Really… Yes…” Katherine was more taken with my hair than I ever expected. So much so that the following day, she called me out to the garden again, sat me on a bench, and paraded Ivan and Isabella out to show me off.
