    “Kaleidoscope,” I said.

    'Kalos - beautiful. Eidos - form. Skopeo - the eye that seeks.'

    Summary

    For the sake of his little wife, Erik intends to give her the married life he promised, along with all of the sundry that comes with it: a sun-lit house above the ground. A devoted and gentle husband. Damp, dark soil, filled with all manner of things rich and thriving.

    Unfortunately for him, Christine cannot forget the past so easily. And rot will always find its way into even the happiest of homes.
