Evelyn moved to tuck her long skirt below her legs, looking like a wounded animal retrenching itself with its posture defensive, while looking on with hollow eyes filled with old scars. She felt a chill despite the sweater Daemon had forced her to wear to avoid risks of complications.
She didn't feel Daemon move, but she feared being unable to face him, so she simply held the hand he had on the handle of the wheelchair over her shoulder, and spoke again, her voice soft:
"Daemon, take me away."
She didn't take in the look on her father's face when he turned, finally noticing the open door, nor did she look at her younger brother. Evelyn did not even look at her mother who opened her mouth to call her with the little bit of energy she had mustered.
