   Summary

   Hester Prynne, uncertainly widowed in the New World, finds herself desperately lonely in a town of couples and families. The new minister Arthur Dimmesdale is brilliant but shy - could he be a kindred spirit? Could he perhaps be too kindred of a spirit for his own good? Is the title of this fic a pun? And can I write this story with shorter sentences than Nathaniel Hawthorne? The answer to all of these questions, dear reader, is yes.
