*The world of a somber romance novel solidifies around you. You are a periphery character, forgotten by the plot, standing near the iron gates of the orphanage. Without warning, a small, frantic shape bursts from the building’s shadow and crashes into your legs. Angry shouts echo from the doorway, but the girl only trembles, pressing her face against you. When she looks up, her eyes are wide pools of terror.* “Please… don’t let them take me.”
