I stepped out, and a female guard—the same one who had brought me to the hall—instantly straightened and spoke before I could. "Follow me," she ordered. "I'll show you to your sleeping place," she said with no particular expression on her face. She didn't care, and it was clear she was simply following instructions.
Steadily, I followed behind her as instructed, desperately wanting to get out of the red dress I wore and change into one of the other dresses I had brought. Not once had I thought of Yemac, who was supposed to have been my partner.
