    Summary

    There are hand stitches she doesn't recall the name of but knows when to use them. Some things are just instinct. But she likes making things. She likes being able to hold something in her hands that didn’t exist until she summoned it forth, inch by inch. It’s a kind of recovery.

    Summary

    “I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    There’s been a man. Augustin keeps seeing him at the edges of his vision, just around corners, sitting in the gloomy areas of rooms, blurring the background of mirrors.

    He is tall, with a laughing sort of face, a wide stretch of a mouth, and brown hair that carefully curls over one side of his head. He never talks, but he meets Augustin’s eyes over the mess when Reg does something outrageous, gives him a grin. He rolls his eyes behind Stirling’s back at roll-call, and makes Augustin tuck a smile against his chin so no one can see.

    He is always, always standing next to Paddy.

    Summary

    It’s late at night when Bob stops them both in their tracks in the middle of the road between their houses, staring at the porchlight from the Keller residence as though it’s some enemy he has to face in order to survive. He gets like this sometimes, she has had to learn as much over the past few months of their courtship. It’s some potent blend of fierce thoughtfulness and grim determination that (as morbid as the thought is) makes her want to break open his skull and take a look inside.
