Sample text:

His face became a mask. Hard bone and tight skin. No emotion, no thought—except for the eyes behind the mask. They were bright with fury.

I waited for him to say the bitter words trembling on his tongue, the words that would kill this frail stunted thing linking us together. My heart pounded with dread, my hands felt cold and clammy. I had ended it. I’d ended it without thinking through whether I really wanted to end it.

I waited.

Jake said tersely, “I’m going to bed.”
