Anne's POV:
I had just left Gilbert and apparently headed over to Diana's to keep up with my lie.
I figured I had some extra time, considering there was no real plan to meet up with her, so I took the long way, taking time to admire all the trees and the way the sun would shine through the leaves leaving spots of light on the ground.
Still staring at the ground, I bumped into someone before hearing an uncomfortably familiar voice. "Anne?"
"Mrs. Hammond? What are you doing here? I've never seen you or any of the kids around here." I said, almost too fast for Mrs. Hammond to understand.
"You still talk too much. We're going to need to fix that."
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"If you're staying with us, you need to talk less. What do you not understand about that?" Mrs. Hammond asked obviously annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hammond, you must be confused. The Cuthberts adopted me..." I said quietly.
"Trust me, I know. That made this whole mess a lot more complicated."

3rd person POV:
Back at home, Mrs. Hammond realized how much Anne actually did when she was with them. Instead of going to meet with her to apologize, the plan was to bring Anne back with her.
If you haven't caught on by now, Mrs. Hammond, who has previously taken Anne in just to watch her kids and do chores, wants Anne back. The thing is, Anne has just found a loving home with people who care about her.

Anne's POV:
"I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're getting at," I said.
"Of course, you don't." Mrs.Hammond said sourly. "You best come with me now. I'm heading to the Cuthberts', and you need to come too." She said grabbing my arm, pulling her in her direction. I started to try to pull away, but Mrs. Hammond's grip just got tighter.
"Let go," I said but Mrs. Hammond refused. "I said, LET GO OF ME!" I screamed, startling Mrs. Hammond taking my opportunity to rip her arm free and run back.
I ran all the way until I came to a pond slightly off the trail, tears streaming down her face. I wasn't exactly sure what I was crying about. Maybe it was the nightmares coming back or remembering my past, or maybe it was a mix of everything I've been holding in too long.
