    Summary

    It’s the weekend of Harper and Abby’s wedding, and this event has everything: ostentatious displays of New England wealth; bridal party brunches; themed cocktails; canapés; moonlit swims in the nude; exquisite torture; cold pizza; gas station popsicles; a copy of Machiavelli’s “The Prince”; a bruise on Sloane Caldwell’s shoulder that matches the dental records of one Riley Bennett.

    Summary

    “So let me get this straight,” Rio says. “You lost the Darkhold. You’ve got no power. And the Scarlet Witch is so pissed off that she’s been – what? Keeping you prisoner here as someone else?”

    “Pretty much.”

    Rio nods, looking thoughtful. And then she lets her head fall back and cackles.

    “Oh, sweetheart,” she says, absolutely delighted. “You are so fucked.”

    Agatha likes to pretend she doesn’t have regrets. But accidentally teaching Wanda how to send people back into their own memories?

    Yeah. She might regret that.

    Summary

    Blanche's fingertips find their way to Judith’s cheek in the silence that follows. “Where would I be without you?”

    “You’d be right here.” Judith dips her head. “Maybe with a bit more competition from another publishing house for some of your authors, but…”

    “I would have lured you away. They could never have offered you what I did.”

    Summary

    "A flash of a smile is all it takes to have a cigarette and a light, and Judith lets the slow, repetitive rhythm of inhaling and exhaling settle her thoughts. The frustration hardens into anger. The anger crystallizes into the beginnings of a plan.

    She’s paying a cab driver outside Blanche’s front door before she’s even thought past the first step of her plan.

    Alfred could be home. Blanche could be out. Blanche could be asleep. Well, that’s unlikely. Judith’s fairly certain Blanche wasn’t lying when she said she never sleeps. She’s never once been unavailable when Judith has needed her. There are, however, still a dozen good reasons not to have come."

    Summary

    "A part of Judith wants to defend Blanche, not caring that anything she says will fall on deaf ears, but she finds that words fail her. How to explain the pleasure of dark, quiet offices and one-sided lunches, of ravenous eyes and a razor-sharp tongue that every so often lays honeyed words at Judith’s feet? Judith simply gives Julia a closed-mouth smile. 'We get by.'"
