    Summary

    “If you hear nothing else from me tonight, hear this,” Gabrielle said slowly. Her eyes, the twins to his own, held his gaze in their grasp, like a small bird in a cold, unflinching hand. “Whomever you choose,” she continued lowly, “Make sure they are strong enough to withstand the force of your love.”

    Summary

    “Louis,” Lestat said, the edges of his voice only cracking a little. Offering up the most casual and unaffected smile he could manage. “To what do I owe the pleasure this evening?”

    Louis’ eyes flicked from Lestat’s face slowly downward, lingering on his bare torso in a way that made Lestat feel like he was being eaten alive. “In town on business,” he said when his eyes landed squarely on Lestat’s face again. A little curl in one corner of his mouth, his eyes an otherworldly green Lestat ached to dive into. “Decided I was in the mood for a show. You gonna invite me in?”

    Summary

    On a quiet, sunny Tuesday afternoon in January the house looms, larger than life, more than it’s ever seemed to before in all his thirty-three years. As a kid he was scared of it sometimes, how big his house was, with its big pillars and wide doors and many windows and his mother’s watchful gaze around every corner. Some nights he’d come home late after playing with Jonah down the street and stand at the bottom step, wringing his hands nervously as he stared at the house in the nighttime, afraid of the shadows cast under the light of the moon as he thought about his parents waiting for him on the other side. There were days where the house felt too big, while other days he felt suffocated, despite the enormity of his room, Paul’s, Grace’s, every room in the house seeming cavernous in their size.

    And after Paul, the house had never been quieter. Never as stifling and tense as it was during those few days after his death. Louis despised it even more.

    Summary

    Lestat stumbles through a haze in which nothing is clear but ghosts. The drugs banish them, usually, but it isn't a perfect science—on an unlucky night, what yesterday swept them away resummons them tenfold.

    Tonight is an unlucky night.
