Chapter 15 Katerina

• I should have kept the knife.
• That's all I can think about as I rip the green dress from my body, throwing it onto the floor of the bedroom like it's a useless rag. It joins the discarded heels, the only shoes I have since they're the ones I arrived in. Ulyana was prescient enough to bring me a few pairs of underwear along with the dress. But now, thinking about that kindness makes me angrier.
• She knew I'd need clean clothes because she's in on the plan to keep me here. It's easy to be mad at her. She's what set Sasha off when I was trying to probe him for information. He picked up on how I was subtly leading him into talking about himself. He's not an easy man to trick.
