On the day of the 30th, Jeanne wakes up just knowing that this is the day they will come to take her away. She knew that Mrs. Black had almost immediately sent a letter home, and two weeks just had to be enough for it to get there and send someone for her, or even just send word and let her go. Wolves can travel alone, she told herself, if they lose their packs. She does not tell anyone that it is her birthday. She is jumpier than usual at work and at meals, but she keeps to herself.

She holds out hope until bedtime, at which point she crawls under her covers and, finally, starts to sob. It is the first time she has really cried since arriving at St. James. She does her best to keep quiet, but the space is crowded and the other kids can hear. She sobs herself to sleep. In the morning, she gets up, red-eyed, and continues on as she has been, making no mention of the night before. If she is a bit more subdued than the previous days, it could easily be chalked up to tiredness.
