Cornelius put his hand on her shoulder. She flinched—a small, involuntary contraction of her whole body. He didn't notice; he was already looking at the audience."What's your name, honey?""Daphne Wallace.""Daphne, beautiful. How old are you?""Eighteen.""Eighteen years old." He turned to the crowd. "And how long have you been at this orphanage, Daphne?""Twelve years.""Twelve years." He shook his head slowly, performing sympathy. "Well, Daphne, tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up?"The room waited. Cornelius smiled down at her, the microphone angled toward her face like a weapon."A ballroom dancer."Two seconds of silence.
