her. Her skin and hair glows with health. Even her nails look less ragged—
she hasn’t been biting them as much.
Mara is flourishing under my care. Becoming more beautiful, more powerful

“You like it,” Mara says. “You can’t get enough of it.”
I seize her face and force her to kiss me, pulling her eyes away while the car
flies along the road.
She gasps as I let go of her, gripping the wheel tight once more.
“At first it was against my will,” I tell her. “But now I’m all in. I have to have
you. Even if it blows up my life.”
Mara pulls into my driveway, the towering facade of Seacliff looming over
us. The weathered dark stone is cave-like, as if the house is just more of the
cliff, jutting up against the sky.
“Do you like this house?” I ask Mara.
She tilts her head to the side, examining it anew.
“It suits you,” she says. “On the outside: stark and intimidating. On the inside
… surprisingly beautiful.”
“You haven’t even seen all of it yet.”
“I know,” she says, looking at me, not the house.
I take her hand.
“Come this way.”
I lead her around the side of the house, on the stone path that winds through
thick hedges of wisteria long past their bloom. The private entrance is
sheltered from all sides, so no one but my father could see who was coming
and going.
I open his office door.
