She bided her time. She was the sort of person ready to face the wilderness, a young woman certain she had nothing more to lose.
“When I was writing, I realized something. Your voice reminds me of a 6B. I'm not sure if this is going to make sense, but it's like they're soft and rigid at the same time. Almost unbreakable.”

I could not hear, back then, how uncannily triumphant the sound was.”

But this hope never hides its shape, and for its honesty we reach for it and pull its sweet and stinking furs up to our chins, for to live without it means living without magic.”
