As I awoke from my uneasy slumber, I was shivering and had kicked all my blankets of the bed. I sat up and dashed over the cold wood floor to my dressing gown and wrapped myself up with it. On my way back to bed I grabbed the paper on my desk and scrunched it up the fire was already out, but I did not want Suzy to see the story..... no not story but memory I had written down. What was I thinking, anger grew in me and I there the paper to the corner of the cottage before hopping into bed and creating a cocoon around myself with the blankets that were previously on the floor. As I lay in bed I thought about everything my well off cousin Henry on my mother's side. He always loved her after all they were supposed to marry until she ran off with my father. My cousins father and my grandfather never forgave her and cut her off from the family, in truth I was chosen by my cousin because he was sick and I had no place to go. He had always hoped mother would go to him after father's death but she didn't and he died after she did of pneumonia leaving me his estates..... he never got married so he didn't have an heir I guess he thought because I was my mother's fav- nonsense Catrìona mother would never have a favourite, it wasn't who she was..... I should just count myself lucky I'm an eligible women ready to be a married but im not sure I want to play my by the rules... I want to play my own way, there is two ways to go and I want to go up.
(Sorry again this is really short but I did want to update. I have a plan for want I want to do with her and how she will climb to the top, but I won't spoil it yet. The drawing is mine.
