Met elke stap bepaalt ze haar plek in de wereld, klaar om de gelegenheid aan te grijpen en het leven op te eisen dat uniek is voor haar, gesmeed door bloed, geest en de onwankelbare kracht van haar wil.

Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.
