Flashes of her childhood flickered before her eyes, her shoulders trembling slightly as she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I can barely remember anything from before I was six, living with the Hawthornes. It's all a blur until I was kicked out...

Being abandoned was terrifying, but I knew Evelina was the rightful Hawthorne child, and going back to the Gardenias was where I belonged.

I entered the Gardenia household full of hope, but the first time I called Hans 'Dad,' I was met with a slap across the face. After that, beatings and going hungry became a part of my daily life.
