She held her chin up and hustled her babies into a seat as her husband came in behind her, his face a mask of arrogance, daring anyone to say anything. He took the seat beside his family, slouched in the chair like a pouting child. I leaned to whisper to my mother, eyes still on the man. “He will beat or breed her to death. The bastard. When he was courting her he had nothing but fine words about how well he would treat her. Now she is stuck with him, forever.” “Oui,” Maman nodded, her pretty features turned down in a frown. “It is a shame. He is angry that he is a married man…” GIVEAWAY! Comments are closed.
