Beginning:

Daine looked around the inn where she just started working. She couldn't help the cold, empty feeling she kept having. Nothing would take it away. Hearing Numair's voice screaming at her. It kept her up every night, and she was shaking most of the time she was awake. Every thing was different when your husband hates you, when he yelled at you for two hours than threw you out. Daine could hear him, yelling at her, telling her that he hated her, that he trusted her, that he cared for her, and she had thrown it all away. That it was her own fault that they had failed. Daine looked around. Her heart ached for him, her head hurt. And for the fifth time that week she fainted.
