Sunlight sliced through the gap in the curtains, painting shifting stripes on the floorboards where I lay. Beside me, Amy breathed softly in her sleep, a vision of tranquil domesticity.

The wind caught me as I started to run, streaming through my quills as I raced toward a familiar window, pulled by a desperate, reckless kind of hope.
