Ellis emerges from Godwin House just once, even though it’s a Friday afternoon. Maybe Ellis Halley isn’t required to attend classes. I watch her go across the yard, chin level with the ground and wearing a pantsuit, into the administrative building. She stays there about twenty minutes before I spy her again. This time she’s holding an armful of paperwork. I raise my voice and call her name, she looks over and our gazes meet. But then she turns away and keeps walking, as if I’m not there at all.

The dynamic between these two is very interesting. They aren’t really enemies. They really don’t know each other well enough to be enemies. Yet they aren’t exactly friendly either. I’m curious to see how this relationship grows and unfolds as the series continues. I’m about halfway through the book as we speak so I guess I’ll find out soon.

Your turn!
