Chapter 12:- The dormitory
The door of the women’s dormitory opened into a waiting room of pink and lavender. This was as far as Mara ever came. The heads of the two women at the front desk snapped in Mara’s direction and their conversation ceased. The smiles fading from their faces, one of the women pushed a sign-in clipboard at her and the other picked up a walkie-talkie. “Sister Tammy, Sister Mara is here to relieve you.” They waited in silence for Sister Tammy to arrive. Unlike Father Garrison, the women cared little for enticing a conversation from Mara. A clock sounded, far away.
