Melancholy: Episode 2 by Charlotte McConaghy
Luke gazes at me and grins. “I’m not surprised.” Then, “I love you.”
As they pull me out of the room I say to him, “Even if there were a thousand worlds better than this one, I’d still choose your world every time, crème brûlée boy.”
He laughs a little, and our eyes hold until I am dragged from view.
About Melancholy: Episode 3
I am not a good enough person to just exist. Too much violence lies in my past. I must earn my life. Earn the beats of my heart, and be worthy of them.
Josi's true identity has been revealed to the resistance, and now they are watching her, circling, waiting for the right moment to use her.
Bodies are dropping and Luke is barely keeping his head above water.
The Furies beyond the wall grow in number by the day, screaming to get in.
And the day of the sadness cure has arrived.
In the gripping conclusion to Melancholy, danger approaches from all sides. Josephine will need to find unparalleled strength to survive it – and to carry her new family through to whatever future lies on the other side.
