“I should feel worse than I do, chilled to the bone, hungry and still tired. I should be terrified that I'm going to get caught. But all I can think about as I hurry away is that I did it. I found Sasha. And now there's nothing I won't do to get her out of Tyur'ma.”
― Ruth Lauren, Prisoner of Ice and Snow
