Matilda walked quickly through the maze of hallways before finally reaching the dining room. She spotted Justin sitting at the table, his head in his hands. She slowly walked towards him. The sound of her feet on the floor made him look up at her. He stood up and Matilda jumped back a bit. " Matilda. Relax. I'm not going to hurt you" Justin said. Matilda relaxed herself and stood in front of him. " I'm so sorry Matilda. I don't know what came over me. I hope that you will accept my apology" Justin said softly. "I accept your apology" Matilda said quietly. Her stomach growling stopped her. "Sit down. You need to eat something" Justin said. Matilda sat down and Justin brought her some fruit. she ate in silence andJustin watched her. "Do you want something else to wear besides that thin nightgown?" Justin asked as he fiddled with his fingers. Matilda nodded. Justin stood up and left the dining room. Matilda watched him leave.
