<div style="text-align: justify;">Carlota sighed in relief when the Padre said her sinful thoughts were forgiven. She looked up when the man asked if she didn't think God had a plan for her. "If that is true, Father, I will happily reconsider". Carlota sighed again. It was not as though she really had a choice about whether or not they would have children. She could only hope it would take some time.<br/><br/>After finishing her confession, Carlota felt better, and more relieved. She went back to her cabin and sent the next girl in. After they all had confessed, Carlota asked to be alone for a while. She needed to calm down and make her plans for the upcoming days. The day she was to lose her freedom was coming by quickly, after all.<br/><br/>When Peter knocked on her door, Carlota was about to ask who it was. Hearing his voice, though, she fell silent and listened. "Yes, Captain", the young woman replied simply. Despite the fact that they were to be married soon, Carlota could not bring herself to call her husband to be anything but Captain. It was, in her mind, a way to distance herself from him without incurring in any disrespectful behavior.<br/><br/>As she had been required - or ordered - to do, Carlota was ready at 1700 hours. She had chosen a red dress, one that complimented her figure, but was still modest and decent. Her long black hair was tied on a braid, and she wore no ornaments but her gold crucifix. At the right time, she knocked on the Captain's door and waited to be allowed in.</div>
