The smell of coffee filled the farmhouse kitchen, rich and earthy, masking the scent of dust that had settled over the years.

Elion stood by the old gas stove, watching the percolator bubble. He was wearing his own clothes again—jeans and a t-shirt he had found in a dresser drawer, left behind by Alex three years ago. They smelled of lavender sachets and memory.

"It is ready," Cale said from the table.

Elion turned. Cale was sitting in a wooden chair, his broken leg propped up on a second chair

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   202: The Ghost's Diary

    The attic of the Brooklyn studio was hotter than the rest of the warehouse. Heat rose, carrying with it the smell of drying paint and old secrets.Elion sat on a wooden crate, holding a small, leather-bound book. It was black, nondescript, the kind you could buy at any stationery store for five dollars. But to Elion, it felt like a bomb."Are you going to open it?" Cale asked.Cale was standing by the window, looking out at the city skyline. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, his posture relaxed but alert. He had been "monitoring" the pigeons on the fire escape for ten minutes."It's Alex's diary," Elion said. "It feels... invasive.""It is data," Cale said, turning around. "Data left for us. He painted the key. He painted the door. He left the breadcrumbs.""He left a scavenger hunt.""Scavenger hunts lead to prizes. Open the book."Elion took a breath. He opened the cover.Property of Alex Marrow. If found, please return to the guy who looks like me but sadder.Elion laughed,

    The key turned in the lock with a heavy, satisfying clunk.Elion pushed the steel door open. The smell of the studio rushed out to meet them—turpentine, old paper, and the dry, dusty scent of a space that had been holding its breath for a year."It smells the same," Elion said, stepping inside.Cale followed him. He was not using his cane today. His leg was stiff from the drive, but he was walking under his own power. He stopped in the center of the room, scanning the space."It is... quiet," Cale said. "The acoustic profile has changed.""It's empty, Cale. We moved the furniture out last year.""The emptiness has a resonance. Like a bell after it has been struck."Elion walked to the window. He pulled up the blackout shade, letting the Brooklyn afternoon light flood the room. The dust motes swirled in the beam, golden and lazy."So," Elion said, turning back to Cale. "This is it. Our pied-à-terre. What do we do with it?""We renovate," Cale said instantly. "The wiring is still knob-a

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   200: The Linear Year

    The calendar on the wall of the kitchen was a physical object. Paper. Ink. A picture of a lighthouse for the month of October.Cale stood in front of it, a red marker in his hand. He stared at the date: October 14th."It is a Tuesday," Cale said.Elion looked up from his laptop. He was sitting at the kitchen table, finalizing the edits on his second book. The first one had sold well enough to fix the roof and buy a new water heater, which Cale referred to as the "Thermal Core.""Tuesday again?" Elion asked, taking a sip of coffee. "The universe really likes that day.""It is a statistical anomaly," Cale murmured. "Or a recurring variable."He uncapped the marker. He drew a big, red circle around the date."One year," Cale said."One year since what? The wedding?""Since the escape," Cale corrected. "Since we crossed the bridge. Since the ambulance. Since the wedding. The events were... clustered.""It's been a year," Elion agreed. He stood up and walked over to Cale. He wrapped his ar

    The delivery truck rumbled up the gravel driveway, kicking up a cloud of dust that hung in the crisp December air.Cale stood on the porch. He was wearing a thick wool peacoat over his button-down shirt. He watched the truck with the unblinking intensity of a sniper tracking a target."It is early," Cale said, checking his watch. "The delivery window was 2 PM to 6 PM. It is 1:45."Elion stepped out beside him, wrapping his cardigan tighter around himself. He was holding a mug of tea, his knuckles white against the ceramic."Maybe the driver is efficient," Elion said. "You like efficiency.""I like accuracy," Cale corrected. "Early arrival disrupts the schedule. I was in the middle of analyzing the structural integrity of the deck stairs.""You check those stairs every day, Cale. They aren't going anywhere.""Wood rot is a silent enemy."The driver hopped out. He was a young man with a clipboard and a confused expression. He looked at the house, then at the ocean view, then at the two

    The frozen turkey sat on the kitchen counter like a boulder of ice and regret. It was twenty pounds of poultry, wrapped in plastic netting, radiating a cold that Cale could feel from three feet away.Cale stood with his arms crossed, staring at the bird. He was wearing his apron—the one that said Consultant in Sharpie, courtesy of Elion."It is a biological hazard," Cale announced.Elion looked up from his coffee. He was sitting at the table, attempting to write a shopping list for side dishes."It is a turkey, Cale," Elion said. "It is traditional.""It is a twenty-pound avian carcass," Cale corrected. "The thaw time is calculated at twenty-four hours for every five pounds. That means we should have removed it from the freezer four days ago. We are behind schedule.""We can do a cold water thaw. It's faster.""Water increases the risk of bacterial cross-contamination. Salmonella. Campylobacter. This kitchen will become a bio-zone.""I'll bleach the counters. Relax.""I cannot relax w

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   197: Waking Dread

    Elion held Cale as the tremors subsided.The room was still dark, the only light coming from the crack under the door and the faint glow of the city through the drapes. But the darkness felt different now. It wasn't just an absence of light; it was a presence. A witness.Cale pulled back slightly. His face was a pale blur, his eyes wide and haunted."I'm awake," Cale whispered, his voice rough. "I'm awake.""I know," Elion soothed, keeping his hands on Cale’s shoulders. "You're here. You're safe.""No," Cale said. He shook his head, a jerky, frantic motion. "We aren't safe. I saw him.""Saw who?""Death."Elion felt a chill that had nothing to do with the air conditioning."It was a dream, Cale.""It wasn't a dream. It was a meeting."Cale gripped Elion’s arms. His fingers dug in, desperate for an anchor."He offered me a deal," Cale said. "He offered to send you back. To Timeline 14. To safety."Elion froze. "Back to Lysander?""Back to a life where you live to be eighty-four. Where

    The morning light in the Garden Room was cruel. It illuminated the dust motes, the smudges on the glass doors, and the stark, grey pallor of Cale’s skin.Elion sat up, rubbing the grit from his eyes. He had slept in his clothes, his hand resting near the brass lamp he had used as a weapon the night

    The sound of the helicopter was a physical weight, pressing down on the roof of the library.Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack.It vibrated through the floorboards, shaking the dust from the shelves. To Elion, it sounded like a rescue. To Cale, it sounded like exposure.Elion was on his knees next to the

    The library was a tomb of shadows and expensive leather.Outside, the storm battered the mansion with the fury of a scorned god. Rain lashed against the tall, leaded windows like gravel. Thunder shook the floorboards every few minutes, a deep, resonant boom that vibrated in Elion’s chest.Inside, t

    The wind on the roof of the Centurion Tower was not a breeze; it was a physical assault. It whipped Elion’s hair into his eyes and snapped the production flags like gunshots.Fifty stories above Manhattan, the air was thin and smelled of exhaust and ozone.Elion stood at the edge of the "Leap of Fa
