The woman found the letter in a well-worn copy of *Jane Eyre*. Her breathing became shallow and rapid, and she was suddenly cold. It was hidden between the pages of the book, in a room of complete strangers. She had to be precise in her movements, and cautious in her decisions. She was aware of the other customers in the antique shop.

She walked slowly through the shop, feeling everyone looking at her. She walked outside, and continued down the street. She checked to see if she was followed. She walked in a zig-zag pattern, constantly looking around her. She found a quiet place to sit down, and finally re-read the letter.
