Zoey heard the news that Wendy had gone abroad the next day.

Cornelia thought she'd be somewhat relieved, but Zoey's eyes remained calm, fixed outside the window. After a long silence, she

hummed a soft acknowledgment.

She had gotten thinner; her chin sharper, more delicate. At night, she'd still call out in her sleep, "Ozzy."

She couldn't bear to think about how Ozzy had died. The mere thought filled her with self-loathing for her incompetence.
