Thomas |2:04pm

Betty's hands felt so good against my skin.

She washed me with such gentleness.

She came to take care of me.

I tried making out who she was, but no one comes to mind. My vision is so blurry because of the

fever, I couldn't make out a face.

Her skin is like chocolate.

She changed back into her coat and slipped her shoes on.

It's not Kahti, for sure. Kahti's voice is more soft and she could never carry my heavy body.

"Take care." she says, while closing the door.

I finish the soup.

Her talking was also off. She referred to me as master, but her tone was not up to it. And she

sounded like she was crying.

Chocolate skin... Off talking...Asking about the girl I liked...

"It's not important, Thomas."

"Thomas...

"Thomas...

The tray falls on the floor.

"ITS GWEN!!" I yell to myself.

I uncover myself and struggle to open the door to outside.

I look over the hallway. Right, left. My vision blurs sideways. No one was here.

She's gone.

She was here. With me...

I practically confessed to her. And she saw me...naked.

She washed all of me. The girl that...

I get dizzy and close the door.

She is back.

I cover myself under the blankets...

My Gwen is back.

Gwen |6:30pm

"It's time we start with the etiquette training."

A man that looked in his mid 40's stood in front of me just as I finished running.

"I take it that you are Robert. Nice to finally meet you." I shake hands with him and take a

breather.

"Likewise. How was Thomas?" He asks.

"He is alright. I showered him and he ate. His fever should have gone down by now, however, for some odd reason he kept calling me Betty. Weird, right?"

"Thanks for taking care of him... Betty?" Robert says, talking informally.

"It is no problem. He is my friend, after all."

We chatted for some time and then we started the etiquette lesson.

The first thing you need to know is that etiquette is all about manners and being conscious of your surroundings. Every little thing you do for that period of time has to be as if you are walking on a cloud. Think of it as being a princess. You learn to walk, eat and speak like one. With the exception of your self defense skills.

Christopher Boulevard is a man with exceptional elegance. And a flirt too. He flirts with anything
that moves.
