"That is good to know. And pleasing to hear." Relative autonomy sounded quite good to her. "And I will do what I can to avoid giving you cause for disappointment."

She gave him another small bow from the waist and waited for dismissal - again, she figured better safe than sorry when it came to formality and politeness. Assuming she got a dismissal, she departed. She had a few things she needed to do, now that she was allowed to stay in Sacremento - acquire a small apartment, and perhaps find a job.

Teaching at a community college wasn't exactly what she'd had planned for her life, but it would do for now. She was dead. All plans for her life would have to be delayed, after all.
