Summary
’Maybe it’s second nature after countless miserable years in the workhouse, feeling blindly along scratchy plaster walls in the cold hallways as he searched for the main kitchen.
He remembers the overwhelming sickness, mixed in with the gnawing hunger in the pit of his belly; the nauseating feeling that you’re not supposed to be here.’
⤷ tobias ragg is surprisingly good at finding things in the dark.

Summary
’Instinctively, Sweeney half-closes the tome against the finger he’s placed on the page to mark his place. He holds the front cover up for the boy to look at, and it takes a good handful of seconds for him to realise that Toby is still watching him blankly. Possibly, with a degree of sadness in his face — humiliation, shame. Wordlessly, he returns to his puzzle, but the keenness to finish it isn’t there anymore.’
⤷ sweeney teaches toby to read, and maybe learns a lesson or two along the way.
