Chapter 130

• Joseph closed the door and crossed the room to her. He held out the plate of food as if it was a peace offering but Anna only wanted to slap it out of his hands and send every piece to the dirty floor. She’d learned a lot recently about poking at the ones that held power over her. It never ended in her favor—but he looked like he could take a poking or two from her.
• Cautiously, Anna took the plate and set it on the bed. “Thank you.” She said.
• Joseph smiled at her and bowed his head a little. “My pleasure. I uh, I’ll leave you alone. I’ll be right outside if you need me. They should be sending you new clothes soon for you to change into.”
