“You sure she didn’t unsettle you?”
I manage a light laugh. “It’s hard not to be, around her.”
Behind me, I hear her voice shift—thin and frayed, climbing back into the cage she’s lived in for years.
“She speaks to the stars, you know,” the Queen says loudly, her voice carrying into the corridor. “They sing to her when the lights go out. Poor girl. Poor little thing. She’s going to be the end of us all.”
I glance back once and she’s already turned away from the window, rocking slightly in her chair, muttering something under her breath that no longer makes sense.
