“ She didn’t hide this time! “
He was estatic. For days now, he’d been trying to get the girl to wave to him. Kara, he learned was her name, always hid whenever they made eye contact.
But this time, she waved back. And he even noticed a small smile from her! Maybe next time he could meet her face-to-face. He knew she couldn’t talk yet, with her throat being injured, but he would accept small steps.
After he left, Kara sat on her bed and thought. The Warden was right, he wasn’t like the… people who had her captive. He was kind. He kept smiling at her everytime he saw her. She pulled her knees up to her chest and put her head down, hiding a small blush and smile. Maybe next time she won’t be so nervous.

No one at Building 5 knew why the Assistant Supervisor was so happy, but they weren’t complaining. Maybe he would go easy on training today!
… No. He didn’t. His mood was so uplifted, that Training was even more intense then usual. The inmates now refer to this day as “ Hell Day “.
