She hadn't really spoken to anyone since she'd got home. On one level, it seemed very strange. She lived in a house with so many people and so far the only person she'd really shared words with was Slink on that first morning, but since then she hadn't even spoken to the other girl.

Sure, they'd tried speaking to her. She'd seen Deirdre and mostly ignored the other girl's questions and concerns. She brushed it all aside with a shrug.

Now she returned home from her father's house once again, damaged body and mind, and tossed her keys on the kitchen table before sitting down on one of the stools and resting her burning cheek agains the cool wood.
