❖ “Exie’s fists have knotted in his nightshirt, pinning him to the wall. He tries to push her off, but he’s uncoordinated, like he’s not all here yet. There’s a day-shirt slung over the edge of his bed. I probe its pockets and come up with the paper dove.” ❖

❖ “I get a solemn oath from each of them, for show, then turn to face the students gathered on the slope behind me. All look suitably harrowed. At least one good liar has a survival story I’d trust to fool authorities. There are perks to having delinquent friends.” ❖
