The nerve of that man thinking he could just treat her like she was some small child. And rules! She’d show him rules the next time he tried that crap on her. But his smell, the way it had called to…she wasn’t going to think of that right now. She had to find another job and find it quick. She thought longingly of her car. It had been her last touch with her human side. The only thing she’d had left that she could feel beneath her fingers that had been hers. She did have her letters, the one from the Board of Medicine, but it had done her little good after she’d figured out the sun thing. She thought back on those first few weeks and shuddered. She’d had no idea how much time had passed when she woke in that cave. It had actually been only a week, but she felt as if it had been months. Her body had ached in ways she’d thought she’d had a bad case of the flu. But somehow she knew that it was much more than that. Fear had her stay in the cave throughout the night. Fear of Alfred coming back and fear that he wouldn’t.
