Originally written November 2021 and published on my WordPress. Today, September 18, is my 5th anniversary, and my anni gift to myself is reposting it so that it lives here on my SubStack! I’ve touched nothing, edited not a single word. How could I?!?! Each sentence is saturated with newlywed excitement, every exclamation mark and emoji bursting with bliss.My cousin wrote “You two really seem like best friends” in her wedding card to us.

The year is 1884.

Friendly ghost, so we think. My aunt has requested my attendance at yet another ball, under strict orders that I direct any and all attention towards my (more goddess than human) cousin.
