Chapter 21: Domesticity

Grayson was pretty sure he was being punished for something. He had no memory of dying, and yet he couldn’t help but feel like this must be what hell must feel like.

He sat in the passenger seat of Jude’s car as they drove down a quiet stretch of road.

"They're really excited to meet you, Gray. Probably too excited." Jude laughs awkwardly. "They might be a lot. But it comes from a good place, I swear."

Grayson nods. "It'll be fine, I'm sure."

He's mostly trying to convince himself.

They pull up to a rustic farmhouse with a large maple tree in the front yard. The leaves are a bright red and Grayson notices a small wooden swing hanging from the branches.

There are a few acres of land surrounding the house and a wall of trees behind that.
