Lily stood by the small window, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as she stared out at the narrow dirt path that disappeared between the trees. She had memorized every bend of it by now. Every shadow. Every place someone could be standing if they wanted to.
Nothing ever moved.
That didn't make her feel safer. it made her feel like she was in a beautiful cage with no way out. It made her think about the outside and how things would have changed while she was trapped in here waiting. Waiting for what... would she hide here for the rest of her life because it was safer.
