Fatigued, Anna decided to wash up before settling down to sleep. Walking towards the bathroom, she stopped for a moment in front of her dresser and opened the bureau drawer. Anna selected a white cotton chemise, pulled it on and paused to brush her long, blonde hair. She moved into the bathroom and stood, looking into the mirror above the sink. She stared at herself. With her finger, she traced her lips.

She whispered softly to herself, “There is only Britta that I can trust.” She turned off the light, her image fading as the light left the room.

What am I so afraid of? she thought as she looked over at the journal on her night table with a five-star picture on the cover.
