Chapter 71
"It is done. I thought there would be a better feeling after but I feel the same as before. Maybe I will feel different when I wake up tomorrow. If only I could see the brothel become empty," said Rose.
She did not love fire as Zayne often said but she would like to set the brothel on fire so none of Graham’s relatives could come to take his place and buy more girls to use there. The cycle should end here.
"I know not to sneak off to go there," Rose added before Zayne could warn her again. She was not that curious. "Your room is already prepared for when you want to go to bed. I can run warm water if you need to bathe."
"I will not be staying here. There are some things I must urgently do at the camp. I will be back in two days," Zayne answered.
"Oh, right. You only came to give me my paper. It feels a bit wrong to have you go off without taking something to eat on the trip back. I will cut some fruit for you," Rose offered, first putting out the fire.
"I don’t want to eat fruit," Zayne replied.
"You do not like to eat vegetables and now you are saying that you do not like to eat fruits. Excuse what I say but you are no different than a child. Well, some children. I have always eaten what was put before me even if it did not taste well. How are you to stay fit when you do not eat fruits or vegetables,? Rose asked, still moving to cut fruits for him.
"I do not want to eat fruits now," Zayne clarified. "I already had the apple."
"Then you can give the cut-up fruit to someone else when you return to camp. I must give you something in exchange for what you have done. I have not broken the habit yet but at least I didn’t ask you for a price. I will only cut a few," Rose said as she didn’t want to hold him back.
