AN EXCERPT

“The way you gaze at me with such adoring intensity makes me believe you could love even my darkest side. But in those moments, when I move into the half-light, your brow furrows and your eyes glaze over, perhaps sensing something you can’t put your finger on, so I turn before you see what I truly am.
If you knew, my betrothed, what secrets I beheld, what grotesquerie lurks beneath my skin, you wouldn’t clasp my hand with such devotion. You wouldn’t pull me into the crook of your arm or hold me near to protect me from creatures that lurk in the night. For I am one of those things. Only you haven’t realized it yet. With my ambitions and cunning, you never will.”
