Out of the corner of my eye, I see Reid heading toward Adeline, but my focus doesn't budge.

Solène.

She stands there like she’s the one who’s been wronged — wide-eyed, trembling, like she just stumbled onto a stage she didn’t know she was standing on.

I wonder how many nights actresses like Sienna Blair have spent in front of the mirror, trying to perfect that exact look. The helplessness.
