Chapter 27 Morning Bath

• Alone like this, with nothing to distract me, the full horror of my situation came crashing back down. I’m trapped with a criminal. Who’s going to come to my rescue?
• I tried to be positive and think of nothing but comforting thoughts so that I don’t go crazy. Maybe Steve would come for me or at least highlight the police soon. If he doesn't, then very soon, my father would get worried enough to look for me too. Hannah ought to be looking for me, too. Celia would have told them about me. Oh no, that’s the worst...
• If my father finds out that Pietro has me, he won’t bother looking for me. He’ll assume I’m safe with him. So, everybody is going to go on with their lives like my absence means nothing. Nobody is going to be worried enough to challenge Pietro? A wail of agony escaped my lips.
