we had been going out for a long time , long before this all started . sucking in a breath of fresh air , i opened myself a little more to the beast , letting him guide me deeper into the forest . they dropped to the ground and burned . you know there was nothing we could do , wren said at last . i thought we had a good thing going . '' she did n't say anything else ever again . thank god the glass ceiling is bulletproof , or the glass would break and i would fall to my death .
