Chapter 10: Could Not Keep Her
"You haven't been opened in fifty years?"
If she wasn't replying he would swear she couldn't read. At the very least she was still writing. Allowing her to pity him seemed to work the best. Girls may be predictable, but at least it made his job much easier.
"That must have been awful! What do you do all day?"
"Nothing. I cannot tell one day from the next. All I have is darkness so it makes no difference to me. I am appreciative of your company though."
She didn't write back and he assumed she had left him once again.
