I've gotten so far on this thing that there's probably no point in being mysterious about it, so how about a teaser, courtesy of this meme?
1. Go to page 77 (or 7) of your current ms.

As soon as she got on the train, Reina took charge of her, leading her to her drawing room. “Supper’s in an hour,” she said. “There are clothes and toiletries in the room, so feel free to make use of them. I’ll come and fetch you when it’s time to eat.”

She tried on some of the clothing she found in the closet and settled on a pair of blue jeans and a pink top. Then she let her hair down from the updo Jackie had put it in before the reaping and brushed it out.
