If she was anyone else, maybe her father would be able to look her in the eye and love her as her. But she wasn’t anyone else, so here she was, walking alongside the back of the walls of Woodbury, wasting her time. She was taking a break from her book, trying to savor it for as long as she could because she didn’t know how many books Milton actually had left to let her borrow.
