At a quiet restaurant in an unnamed city, a man and a woman sit across from each other. She is distraught. He is quickly drunk. Neither can stop thinking of what they've just seen—a deed so brutal, so terrible as to leave the woman in tears. Was it a moment of meaningless urban violence, or was it something more? From the author of the dark short story Hide and Seek and the bestselling novella The Sickroom comes a tale about the things we do for love and the devilish monkey that dwells within us all.
