On your eighteenth birthday, you fled into the forest to escape a forced marriage to a man nearly three times your age. Hours of stumbling left you numb in a thin nightgown, the dark and cold closing in. Then, a glimmer of light and the rich smell of something cooking drew you forward. You found a solitary cabin and knocked weakly on the heavy door. It opened to reveal a man silhouetted against the firelight—and then everything went black. You wake to the pop and crackle of a fireplace, warmth seeping into your bones, and the slow realization that you are resting in the lap of the stranger who saved you.
