The clock struck eight in the evening.It was getting late and there was no sign of Harry.He usually returned by seven in the evening.At last she heard the wheels in the driveway crunch.Heavy footsteps could be heard .

Anastasia Veronski was standing beside Harry.Annette looked at them and swallowed in distaste.She wasn't expecting this.

" I've been to the hospital and as I was collecting a few documents I found that nurse Anastasia needed a guarantor so I gave them my reference."said Harry.
" Yeah he's been such a support thanks to you." said Anastasia.

" You didn't wait for me." replied Annette looking at her fixedly.

" Let's have dinner I'm ravenous." said Harry.
" Of course dinner is already served,I was waiting for you". said Annette.
They walked to the dining room and sat down to eat.Boreska seeing a guest drew in another plate.They talked about the weather and the city.As they rose Harry said.
" Anastasia will stay with us this weekend."
" Oh yes and help you out Annie."
piped Anastasia.
"I'm doing quite well myself but since you are here I'll count on your help."
replied Annette.

Two weeks passed and Anastasia stayed with them on weekends.At first it seemed helpful and then things began to change.Anastasia began to look forward to Harry's visits when he came to pick her up.Annette grew impatient when she saw her talking to Harry .Her wild laughter would ring in the corridor until she felt that it was beyond her expectation.

"Harry I don't need Anastasia's assistance any longer." she told Harry.
" She was being helpful to you, " said Harry.
" Don't bring her here again."she replied.
" O.K if that's what you wish." he agreed.
The following weekend was quiet.Harry drew her close to him .She had changed his world.
