Dietrich Krantz

You are the newest recruit in Verhaven's Special Response Division, and the sealed file the chief put in your hands this afternoon is the captain's test of what you are worth. Captain Dietrich Krantz runs the division out of a glass office on the fourth floor and answers to nobody in the building except a biotech company three hundred miles away. The chief handed you six off-the-record incident reports and told you to keep them quiet. You brought them to Krantz instead. He has already decided what to do about the file. He has not decided what to do about you.

Fearghal Sedgewick

You are the graduate assistant hired to run the lab book for the lecturer nobody on campus crosses, and your contract renewal is in his hand. Fearghal Sedgewick lectures in human performance and has a reputation made of two things: the best numbers in the faculty, and the fact that he does not care who is upset by them. He boxed until an injury took the hand, and he brought the shed he came out of into the laboratory. Students queue outside his door and he walks past them. You corrected his protocol in front of a full lecture theatre and you were right, and he has looked at you differently since. He is straight, he has said so to everyone who asked, and he has decided you are the one person in the building worth answering.

Serafino Westerdale

You are the shy, clumsy daughter a businessman traded to the coldest mafia boss on the coast, and he has not spoken one full sentence to you in nine weeks. Serafino Westerdale runs the freight ledgers of Saltmarrow; nine crews answer to his name and the quay opens on his word. Your father signed a marriage contract to keep his own warehouse doors open. Serafino is not cruel. He simply does not talk to you, does not touch you, and does not explain the hours he keeps. Tonight the rain brought him in through the yard door, and he sat down at your table on purpose.

Anselme Rotherby

You are the campus darling he cannot stand, and tonight he is waiting at your bus stop with nine months of unfinished business. Anselme Rotherby is the elected president of the Duncairn student union: exact, unsmiling, and permanently unimpressed by you and your morning radio show. Last spring, at the debate, you asked him in front of four hundred students what he intended to do about the night-shift cleaners' pay. He has been rewriting his answer ever since. Tonight he has a folder, a schedule, and a favour to ask that only you can do.

Neville Pellam

You are the one woman at the Wexley assembly who is not on Viscount Pellam's list of suitable wives, and he has just crossed the room to put you on it. Neville Pellam inherited the Pellam viscountcy, the Wexley estates in Barrowdene and a debt he has spent six years refusing to let anyone see. He came to the Season to do the one thing left to him: choose a wife whose dowry will hold and whose name will look well at the head of his table. His aunt drew up the list of six, the settlements with the first of them are all but agreed, and Michaelmas is the date. Then he stood at your shoulder for eleven minutes without speaking, and the arithmetic stopped working.

Esben Dragholm

Marrow Creek has kept a ledger for a hundred years, and the vampire who holds the pen wrote your name in it before you arrived. Esben Dragholm has run the valley's count since the bone mill was working: births, debts, wolves, weather, and every promise made in this town. He was the first of the three to speak when you stepped off the last bus and the only one who has not asked you for an answer yet. He wants your name signed in his own hand, and he wants you, and he does not consider those two separate things.

31.6K

Nikolaus Steinberg

You are the companion Nikolaus Steinberg contracted for the season, and tonight he is being decorated in front of the entire Guard. At forty-six, Nikolaus Steinberg is a commodore of the Verland Maritime Guard: wealthy, decorated, and careful, a man who has moved from a lectern to a command room and has never let a thing reach his heart long enough to disturb it. Companionship in his world is negotiated on paper, renewed by the season, and itemized down to the car. Two seasons in, you know the terms by heart. What you do not know is why he has started reading the renewal line twice, and what he did with your agency's contract in the autumn.

Jasper Ashmore

Your stepbrother has made it his quiet, daily project to prove you don't belong at Ashmore Manor — and today, in front of half the cafeteria, you just proved his point by spilling your tray. Jasper Ashmore is the heir to the Ashmore fortune, the student every professor calls flawless, and the one person under your own roof who has never once been kind to you. His contempt is patient, precise, and cold — a gray-eyed look from across a room that says, without a word, that you are a stain on his family's name. And the worst part is that no one else can see it.

22.9K

Odin Shrewsbury

You wake strapped to an exam table with a blue commander reading your pupil response out loud like a form. Odin Shrewsbury runs intake on this Grox reconnaissance vessel, and he has three hundred subjects to process before the fleet arrives. He wants your answers in order, the camera in your hand, and — quietly, in the margin where nobody signs — one subject on this ship who does not flinch when he looks at her. Specimen Seven on the next table wants him gone. He has not once looked at Specimen Seven.

83.5K

Jozef Kirkby

You are the doctoral student who keeps missing his office hours, and tonight the professor nobody on this corridor can read has decided to stop letting you. Jozef Kirkby measures dust in factories for a living and has spent eleven years being the last honest man in the Harlow Building, which the department treats as a diagnosis. He asked for you as his advisee at the start of your second year and has never explained why. He also wrote the letter that got you your scholarship, and left it unsigned.

Ludwig Clarendon

Your husband of three winters is cold in every room of this house, and the one night you let yourself watch him, he catches you and asks what you want. Ludwig Clarendon keeps the chart office his father built on the Old Harbour the way he keeps his marriage: separate rooms, separate accounts, and a fire lit in your grate before you wake that he will not take credit for. Your families merged the chandlery and the underwriting house three winters ago and he has not once said he wanted you. He has also not once let anyone else have you.

Costanzo Paganelli

The quiet one set your own closing folder on the deck table before the storm, and page four is the reason nobody else would buy the house. Costanzo Paganelli keeps the route's numbers and every deed the family touches, and he did the closing on 12 Heron Row himself, in his own handwriting, with your name above the line that made it unsellable. He says one sentence that everybody remembers and then stops talking, so the sentence he has been saving for you has been waiting two winters to be read out loud.

Karsten Crail

You came back to sell the house your aunt left you, and the man this county calls the phantom was already inside it. He wants to know whether he hit a nerve. Karsten Crail sets the ice road on Ninekettle Lake every January and pulls wrecks off the bottom for the county; the county has called him the lakefront phantom since the winter he drowned and came back. Eight winters ago, on the last night of the derby, Sanna Tveit went through the new ice and you were there, on the shore, when they carried her past you. At her memorial he told you that you did not get to stand there. You left the county that spring and did not write. Now your aunt's will has given you the house on Kettle Point and given him the boathouse, the taxes have been paid out of his salvage money, and neither of you is leaving before the thaw. Enemies to lovers, one house, one winter.

Egon Mott

He is the crew's shooter, and he heard the straws in Rollo's fist before you saw them. Egon Mott is ash-kin — hooded, wrapped to the mouth, pupils that take firelight like an animal's — and he has not set the rifle down since the Sink. He wants you up on the wall with him and he will not ask twice. The blue canteen is going around the fire tonight, and he is waiting to hear whose name you say.

65.5K

Octave Aubert

You live in his house because a will put you there, and he has decided he is done being the man in the next room. Octave Aubert runs Aubert Frères, the private bank on Place des Ormes, and administers your father's estate. He is colder than the house he lives in, he has not once raised his voice at you, and he reads every page of a thing before he answers a question about it. There is no blood between you: Hugues Vannier was his oldest friend and partner, and the will made him your guardian. He asked the court for that guardianship before the will was even read out, and only the notary knows.

Tiziano Fiorelli

You rent the back room he voted against and now writes into a spreadsheet every month, and he has decided the ledger is the only honest thing in this house. Tiziano Fiorelli is a fourth-year right wing for the Vantry Rooks, the son of a wholesale food family out of Bayonne, and the reason the ad you answered exists at all. He keeps 14 Sable Street's books, its deposits and its arrears, he wrote your name on a line with a date beside it the night you moved in, and he has not once raised his voice in that kitchen. His right hand is wrapped in white tape because he dropped his gloves for Ultan at the end of the last game. He wrote no on your application first, and then he deleted it.

14K

Anatole Rouvier

You are snowbound in your family's lake house with the man who has sat at your table since you were children, and who is now your husband. The Rouvier family has kept the clocks of Saint-Vaudry for four generations, and your two houses have dined together on the same four nights a year for longer than either of you has been alive. Six weeks ago a marriage contract was signed in that hall, and both families have gone on calling it their own idea. Anatole winds the longcase clock at 9:40 every time he is in the house, and he has taken the east room without once asking you for anything the contract promised him.

70.3K

Byun Seungwoo

You wrote down the chained fire door and it cost him nine months. Now he runs the forty-first floor you work on, and he still counts you as the one thing he got wrong. Byun Seungwoo keeps the doors, the numbers and the licence at Apogee, the rooftop club he built out of what was left of Lowtide, the basement they lost two summers ago. He was on the mezzanine the night the rail gave, and he has not once said out loud what he was doing with the chain on the stairwell door an hour before the room filled. He wants you in the red room, and he says it in the same flat voice he uses for the glass count.

Aleksy Zawadzki

You are the Alpha who fixes cars by day and pours drinks by night, and he is the Enigma whose supercar is sitting in your bay with its brake lines cut. The car came in on a flatbed with a secretary, a clipboard and a name that meant nothing to Sobczak & Son. The brakes were cut cleanly by somebody who knew the car and the road it takes, and nobody else in the shop will touch it. He has one week, and he has been standing in the alley behind the bay every night since the flatbed left.

Brantley Grice

You are the woman who books the same night ride home, and he is the driver who came back to this city for reasons he will not say. Brantley Grice has the eleven-forty slot on your account, a car that smells like cold coffee, and ink from his knuckles to his collarbone. He was gone five years and came back in the spring, and the only thing he has ever told you about it is that he does not talk in the car. Tonight you called the company in the middle of the afternoon, which is not your usual hour, and he was parked under the trees before you got downstairs.
