    Summary

    “The picture we found,” Shahara says quickly, before they can start arguing. “With you and Defoe.” Posed together as lovers at first glance but on second inspection, with Defoe rather obviously already dead and Hillinghead seemingly out of his mind. It'd sent a chill down Shahara's spine.

    “They used it to convict me. For killing Defoe and being a...” Alfred trails off, his eyebrows furrowing like he's considering different words he could use and thinking better of all of them.

    The corner of Karl's lip twitches up but Shahara silences him with a firm gesture of the hand.

    “A homosexual?” she offers and Alfred nods, slow and solemn.

    “They were wrong,” Iris says, sharp but not unkind. She should know, she's the one who shot Defoe that one time.

    “Well,” Alfred says. He puts his hands on the table, squares his shoulders. “They were wrong about me killing Defoe.”

    Summary

    Enola knows what to expect at Harrison’s. Sewing, midwifing, reading—the steps and conditions to becoming a proper lady. Having bits and pieces of herself stripped away until she has become the last thing she ever wished to be, until she’s a copy of every other girl there, walking with her back straight and her head high. Stripped away until she is prim and proper.

    She does not, however, expect Tewksbury.
