“She was in the room Gavin had taken her to when she first arrived, even though she hadn’t actually slept in it until tonight. She rested her hands on the counter, bent her head and closed her eyes. She was really tired, but for over an hour she had lain in the bed just staring at the shadows moving across the ceiling. The idea of staying in this mansion with Gavin scared her, the way he made her feel scared her, but what frightened her more was what lay out there in the real world.

If she had left it up to her mother she would have died a long time ago. But despite the fact that Ruby had never felt like she fit in, had always been an outcast in school, she still pressed on, because the alternative was not something she wanted.
