Quote

What do you think they're going to do to us when they find us guilty? she says after a few minutes of silence have passed. Honestly? Does now seem like the time for honesty? I look at her from the corner of my eye. I think they're going to force us to eat lots of cake and then take an unreasonably long nap.
