Slumping down against the wall, all thoughts of happiness and escape were drained from her. Her father’s rejection and his lies, the times in Prime when she was left alone with her deformity, the time in the Malice jail where she was used as a beaten rag doll or when her husband up and vanished. Tears formed in her eyes as that huge weight came crashing back down as the shadow babbled on.
Eyes rolled over to the embers and back to the crazy shadow. With a sigh, her shoulders seemed to drop that much more.
“I told you, I was sleeping in my bed and found myself here.” This life she had lived felt she had little of the goodness left. The memories of smiles and laughter seemed overpowered by the glowing fire and the memories of past meetings with such and object. Ice blue eyes flicked back to the shade.
