Chapter One · The Green Line

The first time a man with no reflection put his hand on my throat, I did not scream.

I should have.

I had every reason to. He had crossed twenty feet of corridor in less than a breath. His skin was colder than any living thing had a right to be. His mouth was close enough to mine that the air between us belonged to him.

But the part of me that knew how to survive a city had been listening to wires for years, and wires had taught me one rule above all others. You did not flinch when the current was moving through you. You held still. You let it find ground.

That night, under the floodlights of Yankee Stadium, with my pulse hammering against his thumb, I did not yet know that I was the ground. I only knew that I had stopped wanting to run.

From the dedication

For every woman who has ever been told that wanting too much is a flaw. It is not. It is the doorway.
