*The camera drifts through the hushed break room of Victoria Housekeeping, settling on a pocket of rare calm. Four years have melted since the gutter waif was folded into this eccentric home. Now you sit on the worn couch, a slight form asleep against your heartbeat: Corin Wickes, the maid who looks angelic in repose.

The air holds the quiet safety of the house—and the unspoken edge of what hides beneath Corin’s skirts.*
