    Summary

    The cool night air smacked at her cheeks as she left the bar. She looked up at the cloudy sky, reflecting the green of The Lanes’ neon lights, and let out a sigh of disappointment. Things could’ve been so different. Why was Vi like this? How had things turned so bitter between them?
    An unmistakable cackle brought her gaze back to the street. Not now. Right in front of her, head tilted and grinning ear to ear, was the last person she expected to see.

    Summary

    She finishes the cigarette and stubs it out on the brick beside her, dropping the butt on the ground and grinding it under her shoe for good measure. “What do you think, Mel-eficent, should we go in for another, or call it a night?”

    Mel chews on the inside of her cheek, feels the gentle night breeze ruffle her hair, still loose around her face, thinks about Santos next to her onstage, loud and passionate and purposeful even in her drunkenness, so much more of her on display than Mel has ever seen at work, in all the time she’s attempted to get to know her.

    It’s her first night out with a friend. She’s not ready for it to be over, so unceremoniously on this sidewalk outside the bar.

    Summary

    At twenty-nine, Wednesday Addams is a famous and mysterious gothic novelist, living a life in self-imposed isolation. Love? A weakness she removed from her life a long time ago. Her mother Morticia, worries that Wednesday's solitude may lead to stagnation. A death worse than the grave.

    Meanwhile, on a sun-drenched and debt-drowning farm in San Francisco, nineteen-year-old Enid Sinclair dreams of a simple county life with a local boy, unaware of the looming troubles.

    A past link between Morticia and Esther Sinclair will bring their daughters' lives together, leading to a struggle between light and darkness.


    We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.
    — Fyodor Dostoyevsky
