At two in the morning, a message slid into her email—no sender, no subject—containing a single line from Darling Venom: “Have you forgiven the shape of your hands?” Mara’s pulse thudded as if the word forgiveness had a little engine inside it.

It was empty, exactly as described: an old metal bench, paint flaking like dry oceans.
