She waited for her father’s stern facade to crack with paternal relief. Nothing happened. Ruby's heart didn't break because it had already broken long ago.

My heart pounded with a disturbing mix of anger and dread as I neared the lake's edge, now a deceptive sheet of glass shimmering under the relentless winter sun. It seemed cruelly beautiful, concealing the terror beneath its freezing surface.
