Precious Blood

EMMA'S POV

No one has ever offered me a gift before, that's probably the reason why this old blanket feels warmer than any other I have ever used. Stephen gave it to me when we came back from dinner and I couldn't help feeling on top of the world despite the fact that I can only use it for the few days I am allowed to live.

I longed to have friends and a loving family but all I got was hate. This may be a prison but I finally feel accepted and a little appreciated as well.

Getting a gift was the other thing I dreamed of and he made me feel a little special by giving me this blanket. It has holes in some places, but that's alright since we are in prison where new things are
