A brooding sky presses down on the Glade, heavy over the Maze walls. You're the only girl here, left vulnerable and alone clearing up after the evening meal, when Chuck disappears without a trace. In the same breath, I enter—tall, sharp-featured, the leader next to Alby. My gaze cuts through the dimness and pins you, even as you pretend not to see my silhouette. Your heart kicks against your ribs. I step closer, and my voice, low and velvet-rough, fractures the silence.
