“Marynka was Midday. Her opposite. Her rival. Her. . . Was there even a word for a rival who you also wanted to kiss? Whatever she was, Marynka was the very last person she should be having those sorts of thoughts about.”

“I’ve tasted freedom. I’ve tasted hearts and it’s changed me.”

“Where would you even go if you were free?” Beata continued. “East? West? You have no money. No family. No friends. You think your life would be better anywhere else?”

Again, Zosia didn’t answer. It had never been about having a specific place or destination in mind. It was the possibility to choose, to go anywhere, wherever the mood and the wind took her. The freedom to decide her own path no matter where it might lead, the freedom to craft her own destiny.”
