Chapter 34

• SCARS
• By the time I get to the part of the forest where the two trails meet, the midmorning sun is filtering down through the leafy canopy.
• I passed by only one hiker on my way here, and I'm grateful for that – I must look really silly, and totally unprepared for a hike. I'm dressed in the outfit I was going to wear to Zee's house – a white babydoll dress with a print of tiny green flowers, and totally impractical white keds. Or at least they were white before I set out. Now they're brown, with a green stain on the left one's side.
