There are three others there—and older woman and two girls. One of the girls is the wild-haired girls with crimson spectacles. Josephine thinks of the last time she saw this girl, when the girl put her hand to Josephine’s cheek. Her breath catches at the memory.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAPi6tMM73WB

The other is a rather lovely, softly curvy girl with dark hair. Her eyes are filled with tears.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZEmptQalHS

Josephine can only watch as the other girl puts her arms around William’s neck and kisses him. He’s made his choice. It seems there’s nothing for Josephine to do but let go with dignity.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAuJF5E8G15w

She presses her palm against the wild-haired girl’s.1098Please respect copyright.PENANALtMOoKdRqP
