Waltz with Death

"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die." Betrayed. Battered. Broken. Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire. That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side. Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.

"Boss is surprisingly... sweet." Fake Death commented after I got back from the memory and was now walking along the aisle again of the High School section of the memory storage. 

"I know," I gushed, my tone oozing with fondness. "That's his charm."

"Oh," He exclaimed. "So you didn't like him because you thought you could change him?'

I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

"That's stupid," I said, knitting my eyebrows together. "People who like someone not because of who they are but because of the thought they could 'change them' are pathetic."

Fake Death hummed, sounding as if I had just said something ironic.

"What?" I asked defensively. "What's with that accusatory hum?"

"Didn't Klaus like you for the same reason?"
