Vin asked me about my dream or more specifically, "What would you do if you left the orphanage?"
"I don't know." The desire for becoming a part of someone's family I once had burned the moment I realized it would never happen. I only had seven more years left.

"What would you do if you left the orphanage now?" Now? Where was he going with this?
"What do you mean?" I stared at him in confusion. "You mean right now?"
"Yes."
"You're strange to think such a thing." Two orphaned eight year olds, running around France. As if the police will stand for it. They'll send us straight back to the orphanage or toss us to another one. Not only that the head caretaker won't allow such a thing to happen. "Anyways, just asking isn't enough to convince me."
