She sat there soaking the sunlight from her bedroom window, fingers lingering on the corner of the pages. Her breath was the only thing that could be heard if you weren't wearing her earphones. If you weren't inside her mind you would have guessed she was just a peaceful girl reading a fantasy book, on her bed on a summer afternoon.
