    Summary

    1990.

    Kate stopped at a photo from that year. It was a rehab place. The next photo in the stack was a house in Connecticut.

    Her dad went to rehab. Her dad never came home. Her parents split, and Dad got visitation. He took the train in. He was working in New Haven, her mother had said. Leni was a baby.

    She was going to pass out.

    She dropped the photos onto the table and scrubbed her face with both of her hands to try to ground herself.

    “Vampires don’t play with their food for forty-five years. They kill ‘em or they turn ‘em. They don’t…set up house,” She looked down, one of the last photos that had landed face up was her father and some vampire antiquing in Ridgefield.
