Tess woke to complete darkness. Her arms shot out, heart pounding, certain she would flail against the sides of a wooden box and hear the skitter of dirt.

Tess sneaked out of the orphanage a couple of hours before dawn. That was the best time to meet Billy--even on a Sunday he needed to deliver the bread before six. As Tess's dreams got worse, she found herself getting up earlier and earlier anyway, so she was happy for the excuse to avoid sleep.
