Now, on their first night in their new house, she was about to learn she and her husband had bought more than just a house.
“It’s not even storming out,” John said, peering out the front window. “And the lights look fine at Jack and Liz’s.”

“It’s a good thing I’ve got our new bedroom full of lit ones right now, just waiting for us.”
An hour later, as they both drifted off to sleep in the afterglow of love well made, an invisible someone – or something- blew out every last one of those candles.
