    Summary

    “Ye hidin’ from tha rain, too, lass?” 

    His eyes are intense on yours. Can’t help but look away, back down at the puzzle book. Twirling your pen.

    “Yep,” you sigh, “been here an hour.” 

    He’s still watching you, leaned back in his seat with a hand loose on the table. 

    Thumb at your earlobe. Clear your throat. “Do you, ah, want a drink or something?”

    The pearl teeth again. Try not to stare at the way his lips pull, plusher than they ought to be. The faint dimples. You’re starting to sweat.

    He finally speaks. “Maybe later. We’ll see.”

    Summary

    “I wish you would have taken one of them for a husband before the ships left. Either. I see them both as my sons, you know this.”

    “You ask much of me,” you reply, jaw in your palm. Mouth lazy and face flush with wine. Either. But you are greedy. “There is nothing to do about it now. There are no men in Thessaly.” Deserters, cowards, elders. No actionable men, said without saying. 

    Wait for me. Us, also said without saying, just in your ear. Four words you tuck between your fingers and run your thumb over often, as you would a warm stone.

    They will be back. Gods will it.

    The war is over. The sons of northern Greece have come to roost and so have the generals Pythiades and Telamonides - Symon and Machaon. They never do things by halves, and never alone. You are no exception.

    Summary

    John was a leap of faith. Everything that happened, everything that he is. What he is. You don’t know. Fiction and popular media say ‘vampire’ but is that even right. What’s true. 

    You wonder how much he knows. What he’s learned. Couple of months. 

    It’s been a few weeks since you’ve seen him and you’ve taken up praying for him. It’s an unwieldy thing but you try to do it right, get on your knees before the shrine you’ve been building. Something sacred, like some god might listen more if you have another fat cupid statuette next to Shiva. Quartz and lavender. You have no idea what you’re doing, praying to every god, covering every base because you hope he’s okay. That he’s well. That his existence isn’t what’s in books and TV. 

    It feels important that you do. You don’t know scripture but you know his name and you say it every night, rosary in your fingers, ॐ pendant in your palm. 

    Strangely, it doesn’t occur to you to pray for whoever he might encounter, or for yourself.

    Summary

    Your husband of many years, John Price, has been keeping your secret: you love it when he plays doctor, giving you a happy little pill that makes you really sleepy, really fast. The best part is that you never know how you’ll be woken up. But, when he suggests that you can still play together even while he’s in the middle of hosting game night with his mates, you decide to trust in the fact that the doctor really does know best.
