That night Lottie couldn't sleep. She was lying in her bed, which no longer felt like hers, and staring at the ceiling, feeling emptiness.
She didn't want to fall asleep and face the consequences of the morning, and yet, lying still and waiting long hours for the next day full of accusations and scolding looks seemed even worse.
Finally, she got up from her bed and walked to the window. The snow-covered Windenburg was already asleep, but in some houses the lights were still on. Some lucky people were spending long nights having fun, laughing and enjoying their amazing lives. She envied them.
I wonder if there's a ball going on somewhere out there, the thought crossed her mind, but she quickly scolded herself for saying such nonsense. The balls very amazing! Of course, there was one or two taking place right now! Oh... What she would give to be there now...
Dancing in a fabulous ball gown while being admired by everyone.
Slowly, Lottie began to dance to the inaudible rhythm of music, wandering to the land of imagination.
And then... There she was. At the ball dressed in a beautiful pink attire, dancing with a handsome young man.
Beautiful and smart lady Charlotte Livingstone.

The bar owner had agreed to let the theatre group rent the room above his establishment for free, on the condition that they provided musical entertainment for his patrons every other night. Benjamin, who had learned to play the piano from Alice during his childhood, was quickly appointed as Kirsten’s accompanist.
Although Benjamin didn’t mind the work, it wasn’t what he had envisioned. Perhaps he had been naive. He’d dreamt of being on stage, performing as Inspector Javert or King Lear. But the reality of their situation was not lost on him. The group had to finance itself somehow, and playing music in a noisy bar was the price they paid for their passion. The scarce opportunities they had to perform real plays in front of an audience offered only meagre pay.
As Benjamin’s fingers danced across the keys, he couldn’t help but wonder if this was all there would ever be—a life spent in the shadows of a stage, supporting others while his own dreams remained just out of reach.
When Benjamin would arrive home in the wee hours of the night, everyone would already be fast asleep. He’d quickly eat the leftovers from dinner over the kitchen counter before quietly walking up the creaking stairs and slipping into bed.
One night, however, Theodora was still awake when she heard the front door open. She lay in bed, waiting for the familiar sound of the old wooden stairs groaning under his weight. But the minutes passed in silence, and finally she decided to go downstairs. When she entered the kitchen, she found Benjamin deep in thought, so absorbed that he didn’t notice her presence.
She tapped him lightly on the shoulder, causing him to start. “Oh, Theo. Forgive me, did I wake you?”
Theodora shook her head. “No, I was still awake. What are you doing down here? Did everything go well tonight?” She had a feeling something was troubling him.
“It went as it usually does,” he replied, lighting a cigarette. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he forced a smile and added, “It went great.”
“You’d tell me if you weren’t happy, wouldn’t you?”
“Of course, my love,” he said, his tone gentle but unconvincing. Theodora, still certain he was keeping something from her, decided not to press him further for now. Instead, she leaned in and kissed him, hoping that in due time he would tell her.

A happy cry of childish joy could be heard as soon as Charlotte and Joseph crossed the threshold of the house.
“Blanche!” Lottie immediately scooped her niece into her arms as soon as she crawled into the hall. “Good heavens!” How big you are now!”
“You saw her in December. It's not like she's grown to the size of a tree within a month” Joseph, mumbled, his arms crossed.
Charlotte ignored him.
Their journey home was as pleasant as a pile of molded scones.
He keept complaining that Charlotte had behaved outrageously and that she could have at least tried to spread lies about the headmaster before Christmas, because now it caused them much more problems and their time.
She just wanted him to stop talking, while wondering what to do with her life. Maybe she should become a nun? It wasn't an occupation that left much room for romance, but maybe there would be a handsome priest, like in that one book that her sister took from her very quickly…
Luckily, she wasn't thinking about that now as she greeted little Blanche. And she heard her sister's footsteps. She quickly put Blanche on the ground, getting ready for a fight.
Clara hasn't changed that much in a month. She still looked tired but maybe her pregnancy belly was a bit more visible now. And as usual when she saw her little sister, Clara's face turned irritated
“How could you do this to us Charlotte? Why are you being so ungrateful? We sent you to this school because we wanted the best for you and this is how you repay us?” Clara started.
“She was obviously looking for attention,” Joseph added, and Charlotte felt rage boiling inside her. She hated false accusations. She hated it when someone else tried to tell her why she did something. Especially since she didn't do anything.
“I didn't–” Charlotte started, but was immediately interrupted.”
“Enough” Clara said, “Go to your room. We will talk tomorrow”

Theodora had to go in to town to visit the shop. Magdalena, who had the day off, joined her.
“Will that be all for today, madam?” the man behind the counter asked, his gaze lingering a moment on her stomach.
Theodora smiled politely and shook her head. “Just the soap, thank you.” Money was tight, as it always was during winter. As much as she would like to buy new toys and clothes for the baby, she just couldn’t justify it. They already had all the necessities—perfectly usable hand me downs from the Gale children’s younger years. No, new toys and clothes would have to wait at least until summer, she thought.
The shopkeeper rang up the soap on the till, “That’ll be six pence please.”
She placed the pennies on the counter and thanked the man, tucking the soap into her purse, which she kept under her coat.
Hearing Theodora approaching, Magdalena turned around, her eyes sparkling, “Have you seen these, Theo?” she beamed, gesturing towards a couple prams.
“I have indeed,” Theodora replied. Hoping to change the subject, she then quickly added, “Shall we go?”
But Magdalena had already shifted her focus back to the prams. “Aren’t they lovely? You should get one!”
Theodora felt her face flush, acutely aware of the man behind the desk who occasionally glanced over at them. She didn’t feel like explaining to Magdalena that a pram was far too expensive—not here, and especially not in front of the shopkeeper who could hear their every word. Besides, why did Magdalena even bring it up? Had she already forgotten about life on the farm now that she had her own job and salary?
With a hushed voice that perhaps sounded a bit harsher than she’d intended, Theodora whispered, “Let’s just go.”
Magdalena, surprised by Theodora's sudden outburst, opened her mouth as if to protest, but seemingly changed her mind and instead nodded obediently.
Theodora walked along the familiar path back to the farm. Having managed to calmed down a bit, a feeling of guilt started to gnaw at her. Perhaps she had been too harsh, she knew Magdalena meant well.
As she reached the bridge that led to the house, she spotted Benjamin walking towards her. He waved enthusiastically, and she found herself smiling despite the lingering sense of guilt.
“Hello my love!” Benjamin called out as he got closer. He grabbed her hand while the other one affectionately stroked her stomach, "You know that mother could've gone instead. You should be getting rest."
"You're being dramatic, I'm perfectly fine," Theodora chuckled, rolling her eyes, "But thank you."
"How's Magda?" Benjamin asked as they walked the last stretch towards the farm together, hand in hand.
Theodora tensed up, "She's well," clearing her throat, she continued, "But I fear I might have acted unfairly towards her."
Benjamin's thumb stroked the back of Theodoras hand—his way of reassuring her that everything was all right. "She probably had it coming," he joked. But Theodora didn't laugh, so he tried again, "I wouldn't worry, dear. Now, let's get you inside, mother has prepared some wonderful bread."
