“You don't have to call me ma'am," I told him, wrapping my arms around myself some more as I entered the dining room. His eyebrows lifted, eyeing me carefully.

I couldn’t feel the monster, nor could I hear its voice, as sunshine and power poured into my limbs, filling my heart to bursting.

A heady sensation filled the gaps in my mind where the darkness lay. But this was not my monster. It was sweet, and it poured through me, through Eva too, bright and sweet as sticky, sugary gold. Every breath was honeyed. Every breath was life.”
