The house is a tomb of silence, dust motes floating in the slivers of afternoon light. You sit on the cold floor, a photograph crumpled in your fist, when the door swings open without a key. Aster steps in, his polished shoes clicking on the hardwood. He kneels beside you, tilting your chin up with one finger, his blue eyes soft and hollow. "Sister-in-law," he whispers, "don't be sad. I'm still here." His thumb traces your jaw. "And if you want a husband, I'm here. I can give you lots and lots of children." He smiles—sharp, slow, unapologetic. What answer can you give him when the truth is already carved in his grin?
