“Wake up, Grace! They’re looking for you!”

Her heart thumping, Grace sat up abruptly and realized half a dozen members were in her room, their eyes wide with panic.

“Who?” she demanded, jumping from the bed. “Who’s looking for me?”

“The outsiders!” Camila hissed, glancing back toward the door furtively. “They have been wandering the halls for an hour, calling out to anyone.”

Terrified, she scrounged around the room, looking for a dress.

“Here,” Father snapped, striding into the suite with a simple white sundress in his arms. It was unlike anything the women in the group were permitted to wear, low cut with slim straps on the shoulders.

Not that I would want to wear something like this… would I?

“Put this on quickly and get to them!”

Grace obliged and rushed into the hallway. As she approached the landing, she saw the couple wandering up from the lobby, but they had yet to see her.

“It’s not right,” the attractive assistant was saying. Even though she was not whispering, her tone was low, like she feared being overheard.

“Call Abram back here,” the man said, and for the first time, Grace realized how deep his voice was.

He sounds like a god would sound, she thought, immediately comparing his tone to Father’s.

Father’s voice is squeakier, especially when he’s angry. I imagine the voice of a god being more like this man’s.

“I want to know everything he knows.”

“Should we knock on guest room doors looking for someone?” the woman suggested. Grace’s heart leapt into her throat.

I can’t let them do that! she thought, panicked. It would cause chaos among the group. She had sworn to keep them from the others, after all. She cleared her throat quietly and began to walk toward where they stood near the front doors.

“Good morning!” the male called when he saw her, nudging his companion softly as if to silence her from speaking further. “We have been looking all over for you this morning.”

“Is there something you need?” Grace heard herself asking. Instinctively, her eyes traveled down the hallway toward the glass room, but she knew they were out of Eve’s view, if she could see them at all. She had no way of knowing if Eve was still in there. Father could have moved her.

“I thought we might get some breakfast together and have a chat, if you have finished your shift,” the man said.

Grace eyed him and then glanced at his companion. Are they married? she found herself wondering. There was something about the way they interacted which suggested a closeness, but she did not see any passion between them. Would strangers know that Father and I are married? Would they read any passion between us? Does Father exhibit passion between any of his wives?

“Marriage is a blessed union,” Father always said. “A woman must provide for her husband any way the man deems fit. A husband is to keep his wives clothed, fed, and fertilized.”

Grace’s inability to provide him with children had become a source of contention within the community, but Grace
