She finally allowed herself a single, shaky breath. She quickly pulled down the sleeve of her dress, revealing the angry, red marks already rising on the pale skin of her inner arm. The bruise would be dark and severe by morning. She had to conceal it.

Sharply, I withdrew my hand and looked up to see a woman who should be in her late 40’s. She had her head scraped, leaving her hairless just like Ruto. She had the tattoo of a dragon on her arm, an art that makes her look rebellious.
