Why this must be read: This is bittersweet --- creating a relationship between Gene and Annie with a Sam who has departed. A relationship that doesn't entirely fill the void. It’s suspenseful and believable and beautifully written.


She sinks into her well-cushioned corduroy couch and runs her hands through her hair. There's not much else to do. Electricity is something she used to take for granted, something she only notices when it's gone. It seems to be a pattern with her. First Sam, now Gene. She can feel him pulling away, but she can't bring herself to ask him about it. She can't bear to hear that he's grown tired of her or that guilt has gotten the best of him. She prefers to remain in the dark.
