Chapter 11 A Fragile Trust

• Iris's room's thin curtains let in morning light, which gave the walls a delicate glow. The quiet hum of the Wildwood Packhouse soothed her racing thoughts as she lay awake.
• She was thinking about the future, her child, and the tentative relationship she was developing with Erin, despite the fact that her body hurt from the constant work that Phillipa and Ariel had given her.
• Iris experienced brief moments of comfort in spite of the severe treatment. In a hostile setting, Sofie's friendship served as a ray of kindness.
