All the Words She Could Not Speak

Adelina Hartzler was never one to find herself in odd places. Every move she made, each action she took, was always carefully planned out to the T. Each life choice, from the shoes she wore, to the exact order of the classes she took in undergrad, was meretriciously picked to function in harmony with her last. There was always a reason. And she most definitely would never-ever-ever allow herself to make reckless mistakes. So then why was it so hard for her to believe that she was, in fact, standing there, in the middle of a country she didn't know, surrounded by a language she never fully learned, looking at the tombstone of her dead sister? She was dumbfounded.
