→Shadows danced across the walls, dark chimeras caused by the traffic below and the lights of the other high-rise condos and office buildings. A crack of lightning sent the shadows off in a riot through the apartment. It was the kind of night that used to frighten Lelani out of her wits and cause her to sleep with all the lights on. But on this night, she was oblivious to all but the cloying pain in her belly.

→Lelani Simms woke up hungry, terribly, overwhelmingly hungry. It felt as if her entire world would end if she didn’t eat something, anything, everything she could, now. The hunger consumed her thoughts. It was her sole preoccupation, allowing no other considerations or concerns. Career, family, society, the latest political squabble, or celebrity divorce-none of it mattered. Nothing mattered except the pain churning in the pit of her gut.
