Chapter 62 Sixty-two
- Maria
- I don't know how long I stayed there. When I wake up, Dominika sits in a chair, doing her needlework and humming softly. I don't want to talk to her. I want to be alone. But Dominika notices I'm awake and puts her needlepoint on her chair. She sits on the floor with me. She reaches over and brushes her fingers through my hair.
- "It hurts now, koshka," she whispers. "But in time, the pain will fade."
