"The techs tell him the girl on the other side of the glass hasn't said a word since they brought her in. It doesn't surprise him at first, not with the traumas she's been through, but watching her now from behind the one-way mirror, he starts to question that assessment. She sits slumped in the hard metal chair, chin resting on one bandaged hand as the other traces nonsense symbols onto the surface of the stainless steel table. He eyes are half-closed, deep shadows bruising the skin beneath, and her black hair is dull and unwashed, scraped back into a messy not. She exhausted, clearly. But he wouldn't call her traumatized." -The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

Well, that doesn't sound very good! Must read more! What about you guys? Happy reading!
