91

In the following days, I continued to use the library as an excuse to run away but I knew it wasn't something I could use for long. On the other hand, the more I grew closer to the dressmaker's family the more Elef became hostile to me and started to look for ways to humiliate me in front of her family. 

"Myrtle! That is so beautiful! You are so talented!" Julie said with joy when she looked at the cloth I had pinned recklessly to the dress form, I knew she was doing it to encourage me but Elef who had said a while ago that she would leave to lay with her friend stayed just so that she could ruin every single moment for me.
