The wheelchair went down hard, slamming sideways across the marble.

The crack of it split the mansion lobby wide open. A woman in a teal uniform landed next to it, her purse thrown open beside her,...

They had barely reached the church steps — the bride’s veil catching the afternoon light, the groom’s hand warm at her waist — when a woman appeared from nowhere and planted herself directly in their path.

Her coat was filthy. Her shoes had given up long before she had. Her hands trembled at her sides like something inside her was barely held...

Not a gasp. Not a startled cry. Something deeper — the kind of sound that tears itself out of a person when the body decides the...
