The other Ladies have left and are being show to their rooms. Florence and I are the only ones who remain, as well as two guards.
'Thank you June,' Florence whispers.
'Hey, it's okay,' I reply, 'We're here for you, anything you need.'
She gives me a sad smile, 'What do you think of all of this?'
'I'm petrified, Flo. But, we're all in the same boat and we will get through this, together.'
'Together.'
I squeeze her hand, and that's my cue to leave. I stand, brushing my hands over the skirt of my dress. One of the guards has opened the door and I slip through into the hallway. The guard is tall, with a mop of dark curls and green eyes that have an amused gleam, his face is expressionless. He begins to stride away from me, so I follow a few steps behind.
'What is your name?' I ask.
'Kit, My Lady.'
'June,' I say.
'Of course, My Lady.'
I huff a quiet laugh.
