Chapter 18 Eighteen
- Carol
- After I ask Mr. Armstrong about my easel, things seem to thaw a little between us. At the very least, it isn't actively tense in this house.
- He's still aloof, and distant, and difficult to talk to, but he doesn't avoid me as much. In the mornings, when I get to the kitchen and run into him, he'll make small talk with me as he pours me a cup of coffee.
