Unfortunately, just as Esme was starting to gain confidence and even working out a way to escape from the hellish town, she was suddenly walking over even more eggshells than before.
Esme was in the middle of cleaning the kitchen after making lunch for all of the pack leaders after they had their meeting. She wasn't needed in today's meeting, and quite frankly, she was relieved by it. Otherwise, she was once again in the spotlight and agreeing in an overly sweet voice with her Alpha. At least she could breathe a little even as she washed up the dishes, wanting to distract herself more than putting the plates in the dishwasher. It was like some form of therapy, soothing her mind.
