Your Future

The tears were spilling out now as the overwhelming feelings swarmed around her. She brought her knees up to her chest and gently rested her forehead on them while she quietly cried.

“Yes, thank you for your kindness.”Flossina said.

She saw the girl blush under her compliments. She curtsied once more and left the room.
