A Fire in the Sky

by Sophie Jordan

His eyes absorbed me in a way no one ever had before.

“Oh, sweetheart, you’re someone . . . something.”

I COULDN’T REMEMBER LIFE BEFORE TAMSYN. SHE WAS ALWAYS there. A part of me. Indelible on my memory. Ink forever stained on the canvas of my life, embedded in my skin.

Whenever we were in the same room together, my eyes always found her, followed her, stayed on her.
