  1. "Looking back, it's so clear. I should have seen it, should have known." "Known what?" Doctor Wohler asked. "That your new friend was a very sick young woman? That she ruthlessly killed your best friend and two others? That she would try to kill you and your husband? How could you have known any of those things, Will? Your only crime was trusting someone." "And it got Aidan killed." "It's useless to blame yourself. We've talked a lot about how we can never be responsible for someo

    The one (and only) time I ever did drag (for a themed party) I was Kitty Somerset. And no, I will not share photos. I was one ugly woman. 🤣

    Family is far too often a complicated creature for queer people. I prefer the version of that saying (that is probably a modern interpretation) that says "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," meaning chosen family is stronger than biological family ties. But that's just me. 😉

    Another famous, but perhaps somewhat lesser known, denizen of Baltimore is John Astin, who played the original TV Gomez Addams back in the '60s. He's quite the character, but still alive and kicking (though perhaps not as high) at 95. I've always heard that the actor who played Lurch, Ted Cassidy, was a super nice guy. Oh, and the original TV house was decorated in shades of pink because it read better on black and white TVs!
  7. I looked up to find the whole room had gone deathly quiet and every eye was on me. "It's, um... It's my dad," I said hoarsely. "I'll drive," Aidan said as he swept into action, scooping up the car keys and my coat. "We'll come, too," Killian said, and Asher nodded. "Me, too," Laura said immediately. "We'll stay and clean up the apartment," Adam assured me, and everyone else was quick to agree. "Don't worry about anything here. Just go." We were out the door in recor

    We're nearing the end...only two more chapters...so hopefully all your questions will be answered soon!
  10. I called Mom first thing the next morning while Aidan made breakfast. She said there'd been no change since the night before. While I was on the phone, a polite knock came at the door. "Who could that be? Can you get that?" I asked Aidan. "Well, we know it isn't Nikki, or she'd be beating the door down by now," he said as he started for the door. When he opened it, Adam swept in with his arms loaded with shopping bags, which were brimming over with flowers, ribbon, and Christ

  12. The next morning at work, I was busy in the back room, attempting, without much success, to force some sort of organization on the mess that had accumulated back there over the years. Hearing a noise, I looked up to find Nikki in the doorway with a worried expression on her face. "Will?" she said. "There's a Detective Grafton here to see you." I straightened quickly, dropping the clipboard in my hand with a clatter. Why was he here? Did someone else die? Grafton's unpleasant face

  18. Everything was pretty much cleaned up by the time I returned to the apartment. Killian and Aidan were chatting in the kitchen, while Asher stood in the doorway, still looking upset. "I'll get our coats," he said loudly when he saw me. He started down the hall toward my old bedroom where everyone had thrown their coats earlier. "Killian, I want to thank you for all your help with this," I said quietly as I joined him and Aidan in the kitchen. "Even if we never find anything out for sure

    Oh y'all are fired up! I love it!
  20. Ilana's office was about half an hour away, in a restored Victorian house in a small town named Berlin. I climbed the steps to the front porch, where the frosted glass in the upper portion of the door read "Constantino Family Law" in stenciled gilt letters. I hesitated, unsure whether to knock. It felt more like arriving at someone's home than a business. After a moment, I decided just to open the door. I stepped into an elegantly decorated foyer. A thick Oriental carpet stretched acro

    You're building a solid list of suspects, @drsawzall! But I can't tell you which ones are red herrings...

    I laughed out loud at this reaction, @Summerabbacat. I love Brussels sprouts! But I hated them as a kid. I thought my tastes just changed as I grew older, but I recently learned that they are literally not the same Brussels sprouts we grew up with. They are a different variety that are sweeter and less bitter and taste entirely different. The more you know! Thank you! I've been very much looking forward to reactions to this chapter. You did not disappoint. And I loved the video!
