“Hey, Kirova—er, Ms. Kirova.” I stood in the doorway of her office, not having bothered to make an appointment. She raised her eyes from some paperwork, clearly annoyed to see me. “Yes, Miss Hathaway?” “Does my house arrest mean I can’t go to church?” “I beg your pardon?” “You said that whenever I’m not in class or practice, I have to stay in the dorm. But what about church on Sundays? I don’t think it’s really fair to keep me away from my religious . . . um, needs.” Or deprive me of another chance—no matter how short and boring—to hang out with Lissa. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. “I wasn’t aware you had any religious needs.” “I found Jesus while I was gone.” “Isn’t your mother an atheist?” she asked skeptically. “And my dad’s probably Muslim. But I’ve moved on to my own path. You shouldn’t keep me from it.”
