Elodie Hart;
"Tasting her is like heaven. But Harlow isn't heaven. Nor is she hell; Harlow is the f*cking devil herself, with her sharp intimidation and her cruel way of things, but she tastes nothing like it. She tastes of sweetness and determinati...

The week went by pretty fast, and it was already Sunday now. Sunday. I was here on Monday. I've been at this place for seven days and away from home for even longer. I can't imagine how worried my mum and Iris are about me. The thoughts haven't managed to leave my head, no matter how hard I tried to accept this new life I'd been brought into. Anxiousness is still pooling in my mind at how I'm going to explain everything. Lie about everything. I sigh, knowing if I keep thinking about it, it just won't help.
I was woken up early this morning by Sam, because she, Elena and Vera were going shopping.
"Elodie, do you need anything? It's on us, since you're new here and can't use your money yet. Anything you need?" Sam questioned as she and the others were getting ready to leave the maid quarters together, all dressed up and ready to go out into the city. Something I wish I could do if reality wasn't dawning on me - and if I was even allowed.
"Um- no I don't think there's anything I need, I'm all good," I told her, smiling. It's nice that she cared enough to ask. I'm glad there are some people here I've managed to get along with.
"You sure? Oh well, we'll probably get you something anyways-"
"Sam there's no need-"
But Sam insists. "Yes there is girl, now shut your pretty ass and we'll be back soon, I hope you'll be allowed to come with us next time. Go do something while we're gone, take a walk in the gardens or something, raid the fridge, take a hot shower, relax." She tells me, breathing in and then out and laughing. I smile at her as Elena comes back into the room after leaving just a second ago.
"The guards are waiting, we can go girls. Bye, Elodie! Occupy yourself while we're gone please, we'll get you something!" Elena says, as she and Vera walk out of the door, Sam stopping for a second to blow a kiss before smiling and leaving, shutting the door behind her.
I got up from my bed and walked over to my drawer. If I stay in my room all day, I'll just be wasting my free day. It's going to be a few hours until the girls get back, so I'm alone until then. Even better, with my thoughts. Sam said I could go out for a walk in the gardens. I think that's what I'll do. There's nothing else. I don't know what the mansion has here, but I don't feel like exploring much today.
I open up my drawer, taking out a pair of black leggings and a knitted jumper I got gifted from Helen once for Christmas. Her knitted jumpers are the best. I smile at the memory of Helen and her love for knitting. I'm happy this is one of the things that was brought back from my place since it's important to me and it holds a nice memory.
I get changed into the outfit, brushing out my hair and slipping on the shoes I got given as part of my maid outfit. There's nothing I need to take with me, nor do I actually have anything to take with me in the first place, so soon after the girls leave, I do too. I close the door behind me, leaving the maid quarter's hallway and finding the door to the garden, which Minnie had shown me earlier this week. I walk out of the door close to the kitchen, stepping into the garden and breathing in the fresh air. I feel like I haven't done this in forever. Minnie didn't show me around the garden much but I think I can manage to find my way back inside later.
