Guests start trickling in
and Kiya shows up.



The three of us take our plates outside

and we sit on the garden chairs
under the fairy lights.

We rarely talk out loud,
the three of us prefer to use our hands
and it's hard-



we improvise the words we don't know
and sometimes a few words are spoken
but there is no pressure
and it's easy to relax

when it's just



Kiya, Mei and I.

I feel like the books are sort of a gradient. Like, StM was the darkest and SaM was slightly better. I'm not sure exactly how happy SotM is going to be, but I'm sure it won't be as dark as the first book. 

But this guess is coming from an author who has a bit of a sadistic streak, so I don't think you should take my word for it ))

Anyway, let me know what you think of the cover!
