Chapter 27

• HAYLEY
• Disobedient Donor
• OPAL SITS ON the leather couch pushed against the wall of the huge gym we practice our routines in every day. Her eyes shine red and tears leave streaks down her usually perfect makeup. She was the one to find us around Quartz’s dead body, and I’ll never forget her reaction. She’s always been so strong, but losing Quartz was harder on her than us. He’s only been part of our performance a year. She knew him longer because she spends every day with the donor children for fun and she chose him to join us. My heart hurts for her.
