"A baby? So you're the one who tricked Olivia? The other man?" "This is a family dinner. Don't make a scene. Get out!" "What a disgrace! I've never seen a man like this!" The words blurred together. Olivia said nothing to defend me. She only tightened her jaw. "Elliot. Go home." I had spent years in a world I made up for myself. Now, it was gone. Miranda Jones, Olivia's mother, slammed her hand on the table and stood. "Men like this only learn when they're hurt! Handle him."

Then Ama noticed something. One figure stood apart from the others. Watching. Waiting. Alone. The vision paused around it. The Witness whispered: The first lonely thing. A chill ran through Ama.

"Yes." "The women in the long middle," she said. "They are going to find this book in a bookshop or on a screen or in the hands of a friend who pressed it on them and said read this and they are going to read the candles chapter and they are going to recognize themselves."
