"Is she your wife?" she asked hesitantly. "Yes", Avishek said no more. Is he not going to introduce me? I should leave. It's clear, they wanted to be alone, to talk about whatever the hell they wanted to talk. I managed a smile and said, "I'll wait in the car", and left before anyone said anything. I walked out of the café, walked to the car, opened the door and flopped into the passenger seat. She's back. The love of his life, she's back. Whenever my mind wandered about Avishek's past, I had always pictured that girl as this beautiful woman who turned heads when she walked into the room. I was right. Ruchika was beautiful. Even with dark circles under her eyes, messy hair that looked like she hadn't washed it for days, her tired smile, she was still beautiful. I could only imagine how she was when they were young. Why now though? After all these years?

After a traumatic incident from a past 'relationship', Cadence Mitchell absolutely does not want a boyfriend. She is strictly interested in short hookups to satisfy her sex drive but, by no means, will she allow feelings to be involved. The only problem she finds with this arrangement is that all the guys she goes out with are all the same. Which means, she's getting bored. Luckily, Cadence Mitchell spots a handsome, slender, white man at a boring art show that she just can't take her eyes off of. He's nothing like the other guys she's hooked up with, which is made clear when Austin announces that he's a college professor. Cadence is instantly hooked on him, much to Austin's surprise. Through this new, very interesting involvement, Cadence discovers Austin's really, REALLY not like the other guys. During a few rocky hook ups, Cadence and Austin both learn that he's a submissive man in the bedroom and she, conveniently, is a dominant woman. Neither have ever explored this side of themselves but, they're more than excited to test their own, and each other's, limits. Neither Cadence nor Austin ever expected they would catch feelings through these exciting evenings together, though, which complicates the strict rules Cadence has placed on their arrangement.

Lake doesn't like parties, he especially doesn't like getting drunk by drinking the alcoholic punch on accident, and he really doesn't enjoy following his friends to go trick or treating and somehow finding himself lost and alone in a graveyard. There is a tall figure sitting calmly on a large gravestone, so dark he appears as a silhouette, his tapered cloak moving in the wind as though suspended in water. Lake walks up to him, made of curiosity, bravery and booze. The tall man stands to tower over him, in his left hand a scythe is raised and the blade glints in the moonlight, darkness reaching out from him like a thick fog. Cold red eyes pin Lake down. "Who disturbs this halfway realm of death? Who dares to approach the harbinger..." But the little human in front of him seems unafraid. His large blue eyes squint as he reaches through the black fog and presses his hand on his chest. "Wow, that's really cool, how do you do that?"
