everything this family stands for.”
Rafe scoffs. “I’m not—”
“I know,” the older man says over him. “They’re only rumors, right? Not worth wasting time entertaining. Now come.”
Heavy footsteps retreat from the building, but the charged atmosphere remains, suffocating in its intensity. This time, Rafe doesn’t pace, wracked with some internal dilemma.
He lurks below in utter silence, and it’s like my body feeds off his tension. His anger manifests as nervous energy in me, and I find myself rummaging through my meager box of belongings.
At the very bottom, I discover my shoebox. I open it out of habit, reaching in for the assorted items inside. Nail polish. ChapStick…
A pang of alarm runs through me as I belatedly realize what wasn’t there, lying on top of the other items—the newspaper clipping. And it’s not the only thing missing. When I feel for the bracelet, I don’t find its familiar round shape. Something sharp nudges my fingertip instead, and I look down, startled to find a different object glaringly out of place.
Small and silver, the hairpin is beautifully crafted.
One I recognize with an overwhelming sense of horror that strikes like a punch to the chest.
One in the shape of a delicate butterfly.

Origin Story
Thank you for reading Moth. Moth started as a rewrite of a previously published story Dragonfly. But as I started the rewrite, Moth took on a life of its own. Now Moth is a new story, but has a few similar scenes to Dragonfly. As such, I’ve removed Dragonfly from publication, and am providing it as a free download to my fans who purchase Moth.
