For just a moment, the lines between happiness and manipulation blurred. All those years at East River, playing the happy woman Clancy made me seem to fade.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would look like if Clancy and I never made it out of the labs.
The place I thought was safe burned to the ground. The fire inside of me kept growing and now it has destroyed the one place I felt alive.
If I could go back and change anything, it would be how I fought. How I fought for peace and sincerity. Had I just listened, none of this would have happened.
I wouldn't be standing in front of this mirror, wondering if the slim black dress Clancy picked out was appropriate for the dinner he was holding with the government.
Hiding behind a mask of perfection for months, but tonight? Tonight everything was going to change.
