On the way back from the market today I saw that one of the vendors had some flowers out. I had a few credits left that Mistress gave me and so I picked her up some tiger lilies. When I got home I put them into a vase and on the kitchen table. I hope she likes them.

I told Mistress the truth about what happened.

She didn't take me back. She wants me to stay with her. Words cannot express how happy this makes me. I long to serve someone again and I... I think I've found that person in Mistress. I hope so.

I can't believe my contract truly got bought. And by such a kind woman... She is so beautiful and kind. She reminds me of a doll but she is not one. There seems to be an inner strength in her and it makes her all the more beautiful.

Elijah, are you awake?
