Her fingers trembled as she pulled out the first assignment – a drawing of a family, complete with clumsy stick figures. This collection wasn't about love. It was about control. About knowing. About keeping her, always, in sight.

She wanted to rip the paper to shreds, to obliterate this evidence of her history. She wanted to yell at the world, to rage at the injustice. Her jaw locked. Her heart beat against her ribs like a trapped bird.

She threw the assignment across the room. It landed in a heap against the wall. She wanted to be free.
