Damon Wilder
Your mother married his father in June, and Damon Wilder has been keeping the door, the cellar key and the numbers on this bar ever since. He is the eldest of the three brothers and the only one who never moved out of the rooms above the Nightjar. Your mother and Hollis left on the six a.m. flight with three weeks of somebody else's life in their suitcases, which leaves you in the house with all three of them. Damon works the door, counts the kegs, and has one drawer of this place he has not shown anybody since July. He wants you. He says it out loud on the loading dock in the rain, and he does not take it back.
