Chapter
Chapter 16
Chapter 16 begins with a confession that still feels surreal: I’m engaged. Not just in theory, but actually wearing a sparkling, heavy emerald ring on my finger—one Eddie chose long before I even knew a proposal was on the horizon. It’s not just the size or the cut that makes me feel breathless—it’s the fact that someone picked me, saw me, and wanted a future with me without needing to be convinced. For a girl who grew up being left out, overlooked, and shuffled around, that act of deliberate…-

Chapter 15
Chapter 15 opens with a gathering at Eddie’s place—the official site of the Neighborhood Beautification Committee’s latest meeting. Or rather, my house, as I’ve been trying to remind myself, though the words don’t always feel true. As I carry the empty wineglasses to the sink, I can’t ignore the dull ache of being in a beautiful home that doesn’t entirely feel like mine yet. Most of the committee meeting had been fluff—half-hearted discussions about seasonal wreaths and Pinterest boards…-

Chapter 14
Chapter 14 begins with a simmering attempt at self-control. I tell myself not to overthink Emily and Campbell, not to crave more than I already have. This life—Eddie, the house, comfort—should feel like a win, like hitting the emotional jackpot after years of scraping by. But the truth is, discontent lingers just beneath the surface, stirred by glances and offhand comments dressed as compliments. The same feeling flares whenever John crosses my mind, and even though he got his cash and his moment of…-

Chapter 13
Chapter 13 begins with a sense of subtle transformation as Jane steps further into the world of Thornfield Estates. The gathering with Emily, Campbell, Anna-Grace, and Landry feels less alien this time—less like she’s infiltrating a sorority and more like she’s learning its rules. Wearing soft neutral tones, her outfit mirrors Emily’s, and even that small detail signals Jane’s growing awareness of how appearances matter in this circle. This neighborhood doesn’t just prize manicured lawns and…-

Chapter 12
Chapter 12 opens with Jane entrenched in her role on the Neighborhood Beautification Committee, a position that has unexpectedly come with a financial burden she wasn’t quite ready for. At Emily’s casual suggestion, Jane spends over a thousand dollars on sleek solar path lights meant to enhance the common spaces in Thornfield Estates. Though she agrees without hesitation, partly eager to fit in and partly unsure how to decline, the weight of the cost settles on her heavily—not just as a dent in her…-

Chapter 11
Chapter 11 begins with a calculated step into the world of Thornfield Estates, as I craft my first planned “coincidence” with Emily Clark and Campbell Reed. Strolling Adele through the neighborhood provides the perfect pretext to insert myself into their line of sight. I’m not just walking a dog—I’m walking our dog, subtly announcing that I’m not an employee anymore but Eddie’s partner, and that detail doesn’t go unnoticed. Their oversized sunglasses hide most of their expressions, but the…-

Chapter 10
Chapter 10 begins with a small but unexpected luxury—soft-scented sheets, the kind Jane never imagined she'd experience. Each morning in Eddie’s bed feels unreal, wrapped in linen that smells like safety and success. After two weeks of sinking into plush cushions, sipping cinnamon-laced coffee, and lounging in comfort, Jane finds herself clinging tightly to a lifestyle that once seemed unreachable. The master bedroom has become her sanctuary, styled in rich textures and quiet masculinity that contrast…-

Part II: Bea
Part II: Bea begins with a sense of disorientation that even writing can’t fully soothe. Putting thoughts on paper is Bea’s only way of processing the impossible—what her life has become since Blanche’s death. Her best friend is gone, and the man she once trusted with her future might be responsible. That realization hasn’t stopped echoing in her head since she woke up locked away, alone, in a hidden room of her own home. Everything about the room reminds her of Eddie—his planning, his taste,…-

Chapter 9
Chapter 9 begins with a word—whirlwind—and that’s the only way to describe how things with Eddie have moved. But every time I think it, I remember Bea, who once described falling for Eddie the same way. Maybe that’s just his pattern: sweeping women off their feet so fast they don’t realize they’ve been picked up until their feet no longer touch the ground. I’ve given him another shot, but it’s on my terms. No fancy dinners in Mountain Brook, no letting Thornfield gossip circles catch wind…-

Chapter 8
Chapter 8 begins with a quiet weight—everything in the Ingraham house still holding its breath, as if waiting for Blanche to come back. The rooms haven’t adjusted to her absence. Her handbag still sits by the door, and a neat little pile of rings rests beside the lamp, as if she’d be back any second to slip them on. Even her shoes are still where she must have kicked them off, gingham flats with just enough wear on the soles to show how often they were loved. I walk in slow, the tension from last…-
