Those features I knew so well—they looked like a stranger's now.
"So, Layla? Fun game today, right?"
He waved a hand, already over it. "Alright, alright. Game's over. Cut her down."
His voice was so casual, like he was commenting on the weather.

The second the chains came loose, I hit the ground hard. My back slammed against the stone, and I felt every bone in my body rattle.
