I don’t know why the 1920s haunt me. Every sentence I write feels like a memory, not fiction. Isabella’s sorrow flows through my fingers as I type—her forced marriage, her love lost to war. Then I met Theo, and everything cracked open. He looks at me like he’s known me for a lifetime. Maybe he has. The photograph we found shows two people who could be our twins—her in silk, him in uniform—dated 1923. Now I dream in sepia and wake up crying his name: William. And his wife Sarah… she watches us like a hawk, whispering things she couldn’t possibly know. The past isn’t buried. It’s bleeding into now.
