He was fast asleep. I watched his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

Amd a tiny spark of hope lit inside me. Maybe I could get out. Maybe I could find another room to sleep in, a closet, anything.

I turned away from the window slowly. The carpet was soft under my bare feet. I took one step. Then another. I didn't make a sound. My eyes were fixed on the bedroom door. It seemed so far away.
