Chapter 18 - ROSALIE AND BEATRICE

Rosalie agreed to meet Beatrice after a year.

Neutral sitting room.

No kitchen.

I was not inside.

Their conversation belonged to them.

Rosalie told me only pieces afterward.

Beatrice apologized for the stockpot.

The missing gloves.

June.

The council meeting.

Then she said:

“I thought if you worked beside the other women, you would stop acting like an inspector.”

Rosalie answered:

“I was your family and an inspector.”

Beatrice laughed.

Apparently.

Then:

“You made me feel like pregnancy was laziness.”

Beatrice admitted:

“My mother did the same to me.”

Rosalie:

“That was your chance to know better.”

Silence.

Then Beatrice said:

“Yes.”

May you like

No hug.

Good meeting.
