Ponceau's Truth

As soon as we wake up, we head to breakfast where everyone is silent as they eat their food. I feel this has something to do with me existing.

My father had warned that, especially here, I was not to have anyone find out about my pregnancy. I sigh as I watch my family eating cautiously as do I. It seems everyone is concerned for their safety in this home.

Once that torture is over, I head to my room to get dressed in the dress that my maids had set in place for me. Afterwards, they come to help me get my hair into a fishtail braid and they put on some light make up. My mother and father have never been fond of make up, apparently.

As soon as all that preparation is over, Radley walks in, which results in the maids curtsying and leaving, and he comes to sit by me.
