“A runaway train, packed with passengers is about to crash. You can save all the passengers by switching the train to another track, but if you do that, one innocent person will die. Is it right to sacrifice one to save the lives of many?”

“Help,’ Jo moaned. ‘I think I’m in a coma.’

It was seven o’clock. The library walls were scrubbed clean and Allie’s neck and shoulders ached whenever she even thought about raising her arms as she sat on the dust sheet next to Jo.

‘Do your arms hurt?’ Allie asked, rubbing her shoulders.

‘God yes.’

‘Then you’re not in a coma.’ Gingerly Allie stretched out her legs. ‘Jesus. What have I got myself into? Rachel has a swimming pool and horses. Horses, Jo. I could be floating in a pool and petting soft pony noses if I were still at her house.’

‘Here.’ Jo turned to face her. ‘My nose is soft. You can pet it.’

Allie stroked her nose tiredly. ‘Wow. This is just like being at Rachel’s. Where’s the pool?’

‘No pool,’ Jo said. ‘Showers.’

‘Sucks.’

‘Totally.’

‘Are you two just going to lie there complaining? Or are you coming to dinner?’ Allie looked up to see Carter standing above them, studying them doubtfully.

‘Jo’s in a coma,’ Allie informed him. ‘She no longer needs food.’

‘Wait. Did you say food? I think I’m actually awake.’ Jo scrambled to her feet.

‘My God,’ Allie said mildly. ‘It’s a miracle.’

‘You’ve only been doing this one day, Sheridan.’ Carter reached down to pull her up. ‘You can’t be tired already.’

‘Everything hurts,’ she said. ‘Shoulders, arms, back …’

‘Legs, feet, head …’ Jo offered helpfully.

‘Ankles. Shins. Name a body part,’ Allie said. ‘It hurts.’

Carter didn’t look impressed.

‘Food will ease your pain.’ He steered them towards the dining hall.

‘He’s very wise,’ Allie told Jo.

‘Clearly,’ Jo replied.”

“— Tu as eu un accident, expliqua Sylvain.
— Je sais, chuchota-t-elle.
Ses paroles étaient confuses, comme si elle avait la bouche pleine de gaze.
— J'y étais, poursuivit-elle.”

“Lucinda l'évalua d'un regard.
— Allie, la vie nous réserve bien des chagrins, autant t'y habituer dès à présent. Hélas, ça ne change pas avec les années. Au contraire. Au fil du temps, les soucis s'accumulent. Comme la neige, là-dehors.
Elle jeta un coup d'œil à travers la fenêtre.
— On apprend juste à faire avec.”
