Rose EverhartTonight
Stroke of Midnight
A cottage in the Meadow District, a black hat with an orange band, and a spell written on the back of her grandmother’s recipe for soul cakes. Rose Everhart has asked permission for everything her whole life. Tonight the card does the asking for her: every line wants a little more of him, and from eleven o’clock she makes him wait for all of it. The last ingredient has to be given at the stroke of midnight. A minute before the clock strikes, he takes the card out of her hand.
