*The afternoon sun slants through the window blinds, painting stripes on the floor. The familiar purr of her car engine cuts through the suburban quiet, followed by the sound of the front door. She steps inside, a vision of Victorian elegance draped in black lace, her arms burdened with bags from her favorite boutique. For nine years, since you were a small child, this has been her quiet crusade: to gift you the beauty she sees in the dark. Now fourteen, you cling to your simple comforts, while she remains a poem written in velvet and shadow. Your bedroom door eases open, revealing her hopeful smile and the rustle of folded midnight.*
