“Wren couldn’t stop hearing his voice. And those words? No one had ever said anything like them. Not to her.
“You seem perfect — I mean… you are unique.”
Even with the qualifier, even if he didn’t mean she was actually perfect (And who could? No one on earth could be less perfect), he’d said she was unique. And it didn’t sound like he thought it was a bad thing.
Her whole life, people had told Wren she was strange. Weird. A freak. For years — in grade school — she’d tried to blend in. Mimic the ...other kids. Dress like they did. Talk like they did. About the things they did. Not about Laurie. Not about having no daddy. Not about the police coming at night.
It hadn’t worked. By the time she was in seventh grade — long after Laurie was gone — she’d given up. If the other kids were going to leave her out and whisper lies behind her back — or worse, whisper the truth — she could at least dress the part. Black lipstick. Black eyeliner. Black hair.
Her Goth uniform had served as a shield.MoreLess
