A 3x3 grid in sepia tones featuring: a girl lying on the ground, dead leaves scattered around her, a faceless person playing violin, a lush green yard viewed from a windowpane, three hands on a ouija board planchette, a blonde girl posing on a piano seat, a lit candelabra beside a vintage book, a stone bust of a woman placed before a bookshelf, a ballet dancer in a pink dress, and a boy in a camel pea coat and brown sweater

Horror, which is definitely not surprising! 🥰🖤 #booksky

For the first time, Oliver's eyes darkened with contempt. The sight frightened her. "Nothing will fix our family save killing every last one of us." She studied the change in him. "You can't really think that." He was quiet a moment, and then he leaned in closer, conspiratorial. His eyes glittered in the dim glow. "I hope he's good to you." Again that sparking flutter in her chest. She strangled it, swallowed it, until she could convince herself it was only the lingering anxiety of the last twenty-four hours. "I hope he is too."

A group of warm and moody photos: a girl in a fancy nightgown brushing her wavy hair at a vanity, a couple brushing knuckles together, a man kissing or biting a woman’s neck, a black victorian dress, a couple lying on a wooden floor together, a snowy rooftop, and hands reaching through fog toward each other
