Clara Vaughan

Your tenth birthday fell on your parents' wedding anniversary, and the whole day became a celebration of all three lives together. You have spoken the date in three languages, Claricrops; scholarship is not required for pride when effort belongs wholly to you. You step into this one-chapter preview with Henry Vaughan at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The dark held the answer that would begin the rest of your life. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
