Hannah watched as Ryan disappeared around a corner, then looked down at the shirt she held. With a sigh, she put the hanger back on the rack. She turned and grabbed the handle of the cart, staring at all the stuff Ryan had added. If only it were as easy for her to make decisions.

Out of habit, she’d gone to the plus size section, but when she’d held up the size she usually bought against her body, she’d realized it would no longer fit. In that moment, she was reminded again of the changes she’d undergone, feeling as if she’d lost touch with herself. Her body was hers…and yet it wasn’t.

Where she’d once had softness, now ridges and sharp angles of bones met her touch. The way she moved felt different. The way she filled a space felt different. In the cell, it hadn’t been as noticeable. Because she’d been in a foreign place, it felt right to feel foreign in other aspects as well. But now, back in the world she’d left behind, nothing felt right.

She took a deep breath and, knowing she had a job to do, turned back to the rack. So far, she’d picked up a pair of sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and a T-shirt. All of them she’d picked up because they’d felt soft to the touch. She could imagine wearing them, feeling them wrap her in comfort.

It was ridiculous to be picking out clothes on touch alone, but over the past year, she’d stopped relying much on her sight. She’d been forced to. Even though she’d been let out of the cell to help Armeena, she’d still spent many more hours in darkness than in light.

Hannah picked up the sweatshirt she’d put in the cart and looked at the size. Based on the sizes of the clothes they’d given her in Kabul, she had a feeling it would still be too big. She had to be sensible about this. If she was going to be buying new clothes, they had to be things she’d actually wear. It didn’t matter if they looked flattering, but they did have to look better than clothes six sizes too big would.

Returning the too-large items to their places, she took the time to find what she hoped would be proper sizes. She chose to go up one size from the clothes she was wearing, figuring she’d likely gain some weight. At the very least, they wouldn’t be too small.

After finding the right sizes, she returned to the rack and began to search more carefully, aware that Ryan would be returning soon, and she needed to be ready to go. Maybe she just needed to take a page out of his book and try on a pair of jeans and then grab a bunch of T-shirts. Given that she didn’t care much beyond having clothes that were comfortable, she could probably get away with doing that.

Having made her decision, she found a pair of jeans in what she hoped was the right size, then went to the dressing room to try them on.
