The specter continued to glare at him icily, even as he held his hands out and attempted to apologize. Her own hands were still balled into fists at her sides, and the initial wave of her anger refused to wane. Even the satisfying sight of his complaining about her slap didn’t move her.
It wasn’t until his complaints turned into surprise that her own expression changed. Her face fell as she recounted what she had said in her head. Internally, she scolded herself, she had said too much. Revealed too much too quickly. Centuries had passed and even though he was asking, she didn’t know if she was ready to talk about what she knew of his family.
He wasn’t even scared of her anymore. The entirety of her plan was all but ruined because she had piqued his curiosity.
“I’ve known many Harts,” she explained, and she didn’t sound pleased at all about it. “They founded this town with members of my own. They were bootleggers. Rumrunners. With a few legitimate businesses to launder money through.”
This was apparently all she was going to say on the matter. Her attention dropped to the half-burned herbs and the alcohol dribbled on the floor. “Clean all of this up, before it stains,” she demanded, gesturing to the mess he’d left around the room.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
