“For one insane, brief moment, Mia imagined that Tuan was somehow able to see into her mind, her heart, and that his horror had been in response to seeing all the ugliness that was there beneath the skin, gnawing a hole somewhere deep and vital inside her.”

“The were both taken by surprise when the tiny orange flame sparked to life and they could suddenly see each other again.
