Continued, Something Wicked
We moved into the club today. Its official name is La Puissance, but it seems like most everyone refers to it as “the club.” Diana introduced me to everyone, and Harry too. He made fast friends with the bartenders and everyone already seems to love him.
The girls here seem nice enough, I guess, even if some of them weren’t exactly what I would call welcoming. Diana made sure to point out the other Gifted girls who live here. I can’t wait to talk to them more about their Gifts, to learn how to harness my power, how to best use it to my advantage.
This truly isn’t what I expected when I asked Harry to run away with me, and certainly not what I expected for the first year of our marriage, but I can’t help but feel like we were meant to end up here, like La Puissance was always meant to be our home.
