I hope you like it!!Elizabeth Quinn woke up by the distinct feeling of being watched. Refusing to open her eyes right away, she first tried to become accustomed with an unknown mattress under her back and the rather rough fabric of the sheet under her palm. Inhaling deeply, she remembered. She was in that godforsaken town Michaela had chosen to live in. She hadn’t seen much of the place yesterday, better said she had seen it all because there wasn’t much to look at. The streets were just sandy soil and since there obviously wasn’t a sewer system, she accidentally almost stepped into a rivulet of sewage, as she didn’t watch her steps just for a moment. No one seemed to care about the garbage that was piling up in the corners either… She, Elizabeth Quinn, had never had to live in such a poor place and she couldn’t allow that one of her children would do so. The longer Michaela would stay here, the more alike she would grow to her surroundings. The first signs were already there; she didn’t wear a corset, her hair hung down without care and her dresses looked rather ordinary. She had to take her daughter home, back to Boston where she belonged…
