SHE ARRIVED HOME AT nine o’clock on the dot, exhausted from the hard day’s work.

The other servers on her shift had been planning a trip out to the bar across the parking lot from their restaurant, and Amy had badly wanted to join them. But she couldn’t. She knew that. Not with things the way they were.

At least she had a proper home to come back to. She had moved into this apartment six weeks ago, thankful to be leaving her parents’ house behind. She had known she would miss them—she did miss them—but it was also good to have a space of her own again. A place where no one was surprised when she let the dishes pile up or threw her dirty work clothes on the floor.

These were little rebellions. But even little rebellions had a way of satisfying the urge that had grown within her.

Being nice, being good, had never gotten her anywhere. She had ended up married to a man who had cut and run at the first sign of trouble. The world wasn’t nice, so why should she be nice?

She ran her fingers over the tough skin that had developed on her wrist where she’d been scarred by the bite of the wolf. That was what being nice got you. Bitten. She had been nice to that wolf, trying to free him from his trap, and he had turned on her.

Yet she didn’t regret that, she found. There was a chance that the wolf was still alive. It hadn’t been nearby when her father had found her in the woods, so maybe it had lived. If it had, Amy would consider it worth the effort she had been to in saving it.

Besides, her scar was cool looking.

You could see the circle its teeth had made around her wrist. It was impossible to hide. Her boss at work had insisted that she wear long sleeves or wrist guards, the way her coworkers with tattoos had to, but everyone she worked with had seen the marks.

Amy thought they were impressed.

They should be impressed. I was bitten by a wolf and I lived to tell the tale.

A year ago, she would have regarded her own story as a cautionary tale, a warning about what happened to girls who disobeyed their fathers and went into the woods alone at night. Now, though, it was proof of her own strength. It was a demonstration of what she was capable of.

She went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of sparkling raspberry water, and twisted off the cap.

Then she went into the nursery.

At least, what would be the nursery.

Right now it was just an empty, unused room full of boxes she hadn’t got around to unpacking yet. But eventually she would have to paint it a soft color and fill it with baby things.

Amy couldn’t believe she was pregnant.

It seemed like she must be dreaming it. All that time she and Chris had tried to conceive, and nothing had happened. He had left her over it.
