Blanche's Diary Entry
It was a hell of a day! I'm so relieved the day has ended to be honest. I think I was almost caught dead in my lies. How much longer can I keep this up. Stanley is on to me - If he finds out about my past I might just die! Oh I hate him so much, I hate his guts.I think people are sharing unkind gossip about me, I had to tell Stella about how I had o survive after we lost Belle Reve, I wouldn't be able to face her if she found out herself. About me - about my past - about he men - about my way of life. She'd hate me. But I don't think she understood me or where I was coming from. I told her about Mitch too. Do I lie too much? sometimes I feel I wouldn't be able to live if i didn't always lie.
Something else happened, a young boy came over to the apartment said he wanted some collection. A young, young boy. I kissed him! Yes I did but I let him go. He was so fresh and young, It made me miss being young, made me miss my job as a teacher in Laurel where I wasn't careful enough. That's the past now. I am going to get married to Mitch and live a secured life where I would never be worried about everything, I'd have my own prince very soon. He will take care of me. I didn't want to go ahead of myself, I have to be careful to keep my hands off children.
You capture Blanche's voice well. keep up the good work Prisca.
