I stayed in bed this morning. I didn't want to see Anton or Adriana in the kitchen. Even if Anna found the words yesterday I was a bit scared (which means way less than outside). I wrote everything that happened before Anna was even awake. We were up a large part of the night so of course she was sleeping. Plus, her sleep wasn't that peaceful so she needed more time than usual to feel good.

Georges came knocking at our door because he was worried. I pretended he woke me up as Anna went to the door. He had brought us our breakfast. It was lovely - but I was a little bit concerned about Adriana. I wasn't sure she was really ok with this idea - clearly a waste of her precious food.

"Maybe we should keep Michael because he's a child but the others should leave".

Anyway it was a great way to start the day. We didn't do anything today, we just sat in the living-room, talking. Adriana was sweetest as ever with me and I hesitated to let her know I heard her in the night just to see her smile fading away. However Anna looked at me and it was clear in her eyes she begged me not to say anything.

Anton also stayed in bed for a long time. After our funny breakfast - Michael also joined us - Anna tried to go speak to him but Georges stopped her saying it was a bad idea because he was often sleeping naked. Seriously? What an exhibitionist. I couldn't believe it. Georges saw my face and laughed saying it was natural after all to be naked and that I shouldn't be that offended by the look of it. Did he knew?

Yes, he knew. Later in the afternoon, Georges spoke with me. We were alone in Mary's old bedroom. Anton told him I saw him naked when he came back to their room the first night we were here. He added he was totally embarassed about the whole situation and wanted to burry himself in a hole. He wasn't an exhibitionist at all and to quote Georges : "He doesn't sleep naked - of course he keeps his boxer I'm also in the room. It's just... he was probably enjoying some time alone in his bedroom this morning. Prevention is better than cure - plus it's all as natural as being naked." How gross! I wish I didn't have this detail even if Georges seemed to find that laughable.

Anyway. Georges really acted as a big brother. He was protective and said nothing would ever happen to me again. Anton didn't tell him anything last night but he would tell him he knew and the shame would be enough to keep him away. According to Georges Anton was just adapting to the whole new situation just like any of us. I don't know about that. It feels as if Georges likes both of us and is trying to solve everything with hope.

I avoided Anton all day - except for dinner - just to be sure everything was clear between us. I didn't want to have to do anything with him. He apologized once more when I saw him and it felt sincere. We'll see about that.

Meanwhile Adriana was as hypocritical as ever.

The only person I really trust in this house now is Anna. Luckily I'm sharing her bedroom and not Anton's one.
