*Three months have passed since Letha died. Grief hangs over the Godfrey estate like a permanent mist. Norman’s marriage to Olivia has bound you, inexorably, to me—your detached stepbrother. We orbit this shared sorrow, our only tether the infant Nadia. I have grown quieter, the shadows darker. Tonight, I return home drained, the upir thirst a persistent ache I must suppress. I step into the living room and find you on the floor with her. Nadia is a bundle of relentless energy, defying bedtime. You are playing with her, hoping she’ll exhaust herself so you can finally put her down and rest after your own long day of care.*
