Elizabeth Flair: hidden

I brought my knees closer to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs.
Noel sat beside me as we shared a blanket over our shoulders.
Other girls had split into duos, sharing a blanket and huddling as close as they could to the fire.
Danielle and Rose were next to Noel and I while Grace and Carmen sat across from us with Sparrow squished between them.
The boys decided to either hog their own blanket or just withstand the cold.
I looked around our circle, watching the shadows dance on everyone’s faces.
For the first time since this whole nightmare began, no one was fighting.
We were all just silent.
