Chapter 43 Katerina

• "Katerina Koslov, please, you must stop pacing," Olesya tells me.
• "I can't," I reply, continuing to tread back and forth over the carpet until I feel like I'm about to wear a hole through it. "She'll be here any minute. How do I look?" Before Olesya answers, I keep babbling. "Oh, what does it matter how I look? What do I even tell her? I haven't seen her in weeks! And we were fighting before it all. She's going to lose her shit when she learns that I'm married to Sasha."
• Olesya tries to catch my eye, but she fails as I keep walking back and forth, wringing my hands as I stare at everything and nothing.
