"Yeah," Michelle says, nodding, her voice a little fainter, almost like she doesn't believe what she's saying. She knows it happened, but it feels surreal now, and less noteworthy than when it happened. She got out; she did what she had to, a matter of survival. Sometimes she isn't sure if Howard actually would have killed her or if he just would have kept her there, but either way, it wouldn't have been worth finding out. She didn't want to meet the same fate as the girl — or girls, for all she knows — that came before her. "Barely, but... yeah."
