In My Desperate Time

How dare I open the door?

Hilda is so scary. How dare I face her like this?

I stand there, pretending not to hear her.

I'm afraid that Hilda will hurt Earl again.

Whether it's Frances or Earl, I can't let anything happen to them.

No matter how scared I am, I could only take a deep breath and open the door.

Hilda stands at the door and looks at me with a faint smile.
