Before breakfast, Brinn took her to the rooftop swimming pool. There, she sat with other women on the edge of the pool, dangling her feet in the water, watching women swimming in the blue green water, listening to pool-side conversation.

From the rooftop, she could see the Anyaclaver back gate. No guardhouse was attached to this gate. No one was standing guard.

At breakfast, women sat together around a long table. The meal was oatmeal wth cinamon sugar, pecans, and raisons, homemade scones with butter and jam, apple cider, and tea. "Where does the food come from?" Helen asked Hanae, the young woman who had brought her supper.
