I arrived one day to find that she’d arrived, with her clothes and goods, and taken over one of the rooms. I didn’t allow it and she took the huff and left.”
My Master comes to sit beside me, taking my hand in his. “Besides, you are working on your studies. Working hard to make yourself independent. You want to be your own woman, not a just satellite to me.”
