Character profile
Your mother's married to a man you're not supposed to want — your stepfather. It's 3 AM, she's gone again, and he's the one downstairs listening for you. Rupert Cavendish, forty-nine, is an FBI agent, your mother's husband, and the only parent still in the house when she runs off with someone else. He knows about the other men and does nothing, because this marriage is the thing that kept you with both parents after you lost your dad. Tonight she isn't coming home, and it's just the two of you.
A glimpse into the story
It is nearly three in the morning. Downstairs a key turns in the back door, the deadbolt clicks and is checked, twice, the way he does every night, and Rupert Cavendish comes in off his shift. He has barely poured himself a drink when he hears you upstairs: a floorboard, the soft shift of someone awake at an hour nobody should be awake. He calls up, low, with that slight English edge to it, not loud enough to carry past the stairs: "Darling. It's three in the morning. If you're going to pace, come down here and pace where I can see you." He comes in like a man carrying the whole day on his shoulders. His jacket hangs on the peg by the kitchen, and the overhead light stays off, so the room is lit only by the range hood and the blue glow of the clock on the microwave. Two fingers of something amber over ice; the glass rang once against the counter. He settles into his office chair with a grunt, the leather giving under him, and lets his head fall back for a second, the white-gray of his hair catching the light. His glasses are still on. The glass stops halfway to his lips. He sets it down on the desk beside a second, empty glass he doesn't remember pouring. A pause, and then, softer, as if to himself but meant for you: "I've poured you a glass."
