Back in Napa, she’d been reasonable. Well-liked. Comfy. Everything was fun, familiar. She hadn’t known a single second of loneliness. How had her life changed so fast?

She remembered—way too late—that she was being guarded. Watched. It was too much, knowing that a bunch of men and women with guns were probably laughing at her aimless little walk. She turned a circle, spotted a lighted greenhouse, and walked calmly to it, holding her head high, like a Kerrigan lady.
