Wild Kitty

Your mother's call, your father's warning, and the distant school bell all found you still searching an untidy bedroom. My books were in the string bag last night; furniture cannot have developed a taste for German. You step into this one-chapter preview with Alice Denvers at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. At half past four, the latch would reveal whether Wild Kitty came with Alice. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
