"Here you are," Hazel would softly say, reaching a palm full of fresh cherry tomatoes outwards towards the patron as she dropped her head. Each day was the same. She'd wake up, ordered to become dressed, follow the rest of the women in line towards the market to sell fresh fruits, vegetables and wares to patrons, return the cash for the day and return back to her cell.

"I'm not the one who should be worried, Rivera." I almost laugh. I almost kiss her. Instead I drop my hand, stepping back just enough to watch her pull herself together, to see that tiny crack in her perfect act before she smooths it over.
