Erica said when I finished. "She was. And she'd love you. Be so proud of who you're becoming." "Even though I'm not fighting tomorrow?" "Especially because you're not fighting. Because you're smart enough to know your limits." I brushed hair from her face. "Bravery isn't about fighting when you're ready. It's about knowing when to step back and trust others." "Is that what you learned from her?"

Now I was in a stranger’s home, wearing borrowed clothes, risking my life for a man who didn’t care if I lived or died. I turned my face into the pillow and whispered into the dark, “What am I doing?” I didn’t know the answer.

"This book is about a girl who sold herself to a stranger. It is about a man who bought her and fell in love with her. It is about fear and hope and love and loss. But most of all, it is about finding the courage to be yourself." She looked at Ezra. His eyes were wet. "I wrote this book because I needed to heal," she said.

I carry the tray of food that my arm runs because of the pain. When I stood in front of Daniel's room, I was a little nervous. It's not I'm thinking about what happened at noon. But I'm afraid I don't know how to face him. I don't know what words to use to make Daniel not angry with me anymore. I stood in front of the door like that for a long time, I didn't feel like it was okay to stand like that forever. I took a deep breath bravely and then carefully knock on his room door.

Its breath turned grass to ash. Its eyes were stars. When it spoke, the air cracked: > Gateborn. Unchain me. Or be broken beneath me. Ezra’s mark erupted. White-hot. Violent.

Lysander leans on the rail, confidence painted across his posture but cracked around the edges. “You guys are awfully quiet,” I say gently. Lysander smirks without looking at me. “Scared kids are supposed to be quiet.” Elysia shoots him a glare. “We’re not scared.” Her voice trembles. I sit down, tucking my knees under me. “It’s okay if you are. Being brave doesn’t mean you’re not afraid. It means you show up anyway.”

The same story I had told the children would be recited, where I would be able to repeat the magical story word for word. A brave girl called Audrey, had to go on mission to save her people from the dangerous creatures which loomed outside of her town and threatened her people. She was of course, afraid but she also knew how brave and strong she was. She never gave up and defeated all of those creatures that once scared her to the core.

“Three weeks until you help hold her accountable. Different framing.” “I don’t feel strong enough for this.” “You don’t have to feel strong. You just have to show up. Strength is optional.” Charlotte, observing her parents’ conversation from the doorway, spoke up. “Mama, are you scared about your work problem?” “Yes, sweetheart.
