Emma is the main character from my friend Mandy’s book Echoes, which is coming out on October 16th. I highly recommend it, because it’s awesome and her writing style is beautiful and you should totally read it.

Interviewer: And honesty or selflessness?
Emma: *Forehead pinches a little and she shakes her head* …are…the same.
Interviewer: What is something you can never leave the house without?
Emma: *Shifts on her chair, pulling arms close to herself and not looking like she understand* …what… house?
Interviewer: *looks rather concerned* That’s the last question. Thank you for your time.
Emma: *Holds her arms against her stomach, wrapped in her sleeves, as she slowly gets up and slips out*
