- The next day, I left the hospital.
- Ignoring the pain, I went home to pack.
- Even with only three days left, I didn’t want to
- leave my things in Elijah’s house.
- I didn’t own much; a few clothes, a pair of
- shoes.

- He couldn’t refuse, but he made my life
- miserable, housing me in the servant’s
- quarters.
- I’d just finished packing when Elijah returned.
- He looked at me questioningly.
- “Why are you leaving?”
- He’d hated me living there.
- Why this question now?
- “I won’t bother you anymore.”
- As I turned to leave, he grabbed my hand.
- Shock coursed through me.
- He was known for his fastidiousness.
- He never touched me, except when drunk.
- “I got this bracelet for you at the temple.” He gave me a red beaded bracelet.
- “It will keep you safe.”
- I looked into his eyes; there was regret.
- He felt guilty about the baby?
- The guilt disgusted me.
- I took the bracelet and threw it in the trash.

- His face fell.
- “What are you doing?”
- “Elijah, don’t call me that. My name is Mary.”
- For years, he’d called me “you“.
- I was done.
- He was stunned.
- “Mary, I got that bracelet for you. Why would
- you do that?”
- “I don’t want your things.”
- I left.
