From the bestselling author of Asp, Stigmalion, The Hounds of Lilith, and Wings.
I made a mistake when I started dating Derek. And I made another when I let him convince me that what was happening between us was normal. And I keep making mistakes. I see the proof in the mirror again: my split lips, my bruises on my neck, my empty eyes. For a year now, I have not been able to escape the suffocating web of our relationship. One minute he orders takeout from his favorite restaurant, the next he makes me stand on the porch in the freezing rain with the door locked. With him, I never know what will happen next: it’s like I’m walking through a minefield or over a rotten bridge. It’s like I’m playing Russian roulette. It’s like I’m taking vitamins from a bottle in which one of the capsules is cyanide. There is, however, someone who brings me back my sense of balance: the delivery guy who brings us food. He is a random person, about whom I know almost nothing. Sometimes we talk on the doorstep. Yesterday he asked if I was okay, and it shook me to the core. If Derek is pure cyanide, then what if there is a human antidote?
