Este smiled. “All hot tales are, child. The question is: what will you do with it?”

Alida had always been a collector of things that simmered just beneath the surface. Not stamps or coins, but stories—the ones people told in lowered voices at the end of a party, the ones that began with “you didn’t hear this from me” and ended with a sharp inhale.
