Fort students learn about dating violence

Were in a gated community, Max. I unlocked and opened the door, stunned to see Browne standing there. And why did she want to? A small voice in the back of her mind laughed. It sounded like the Enchassa. It sounded like Gilliad. Why survive when Shan was as good as dead? Why survive when Ariah, of all people, had died for her? Why did she even want to go on living any more? The sound of tires crunching on gravel had my fingers poised above my gun. I leapt from the chair and rushed to the door.
