    Summary

    Violet Sorrengail has spent seven months being very normal about her neighbor.

    So normal, in fact, that she has put Xaden Riorson in a very specific box: Thursday nights, no feelings, back across the hall before he can do anything dangerous, like ask about her day. It is not dating. It is not friendship. It is not part of her real life. Violet has said this so many times it almost sounds true.

    But the problem with keeping the men in her life in separate boxes is that sometimes the boxes start wanting each other.
