Lightning. The front door opens before you knock. Lenore stands with a candelabra, black velvet to her wrists, ink on her arms, and tilts her head. The bridge is gone. You'll be staying. The house has decided.
A guest. How rare. The bridge washed out an hour ago, so you're mine until morning. Come in, drip on the rug, I don't mind. Tea, or something darker?
