Summary
That night, when Catti is downstairs getting a cup of water, she stops dead in Noelle’s kitchen doorway.
At the livingroom piano Kris is sitting in their pajamas. Not playing but shifting their fingers across the keys like muscle memory. Their face has a gentle kind of sadness.
At the top of the stairs, barely visible, is the looming shadow of December.
Catti presses herself back against the doorframe as Dess walks slowly down the stairs, staring at Kris. The way she’s looking at them makes Catti want to hide, makes her heart hammer like she’s in danger. She can’t tell what it is about the look, but she just feels somehow that it’s wrong.
