“Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages.

I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggle to discover how that might be done.”
