Sneak Peek of Broken: Chapter 13
On the eighth day, it was still raining when there was a knock on my door. I had been summoned to a meeting. I was expected to be there, on time, looking presentable. If I did not go, I would be sent to the dungeon to do the dishes with the convicts, a threat I couldn't see Arrabella following through on.
Whatever.
I changed clothes. I ran a brush through my hair. I fastened my sword to my belt. I skipped breakfast. I felt hollow.
For once, I wasn't late. If you can believe this, I showed up first. I paced back and forth in the dark, not bothering to open the curtains of the floor to ceiling windows or lighting a candle.
