““Dominika told Bratok that she no longer respected or trusted him; they had all used her. She told him that ever since ballet school her choices had been taken away, she had been shoved this way and that, the things most dear to her had been stolen.

But the result turned out the same. They had colluded against her. Even the general had broken her faith. Her Russian mind saw conspiracy, her Russian soul felt betrayal.””
