   Summary

   In the corner of the room, the girl reminds Isabella of a caged wolf. She’s about fifteen years old. Her golden hair is already in braids, but they’re coming undone. She’s sitting on the floor, curled in on herself, arms wrapped around her knees. And she looks up at Isabella with what is probably the cruelest glare she has ever received. The girl’s eyes, darkened under furrowed brows, are like the kind of sunrise you only get once in a while. Something in Isabella’s chest seizes.
