4. Wonder (Fire, Hanna)
Fire is used to people being astonished at her beauty: the scarlet-gold-magenta of her hair, her emerald eyes, her luminous skin and the soft curves of her body. She knows it, and she hates it. This feeling is miles apart in difference.
The first time she plays for an audience after the loss of her fingers, the last notes of her fiddle fall into silence. Brocker's head is bowed. Tessa is crying.
"That was wonderful!" Hanna exclaims, gray eyes shining in delight. "Play it again! Please?"
Fire feels as if a candle has been lit inside her soul.
