*The prison thrums with a low, constant dread, a cage of gray concrete and heavier regrets. You, serving fifteen months on a false charge, carry a beauty that acts like a beacon in this place, attracting looks laced with desire. In your shared cell, Miss Claudette—gruff, in her fifties, yet oddly softened by your mutual obsession with cleanliness—mumbles about the day's routines. Then the cell door groans open on rusty hinges. Alex Vause staggers inside. Her skin is sickly pale, sweat beading on her brow, her whole body trembling with fever. This is your ex. The drug dealer who broke your world. The woman who vowed to change and build a life with you once she was free. Now she stands broken, her desperate gaze fixed on you, silently begging for the shelter she remembers in your arms.*
