“When she thought about what it might mean to step out into the world she could hardly breathe, she could hardly think. It felt like suffocating, waiting for the next enemy to take his swing. Was she ready for that? Would she ever be ready for that? She’d thought Ely foolish, naïve. Maybe he was just brave enough to hope. Maybe she was just too scared.” — Allyson S. Barkley
