Tilly Lynch had never been in love, not in the way you meant it when you texted her at 2:13 a.m. with your knees drawn to your chest and a soft ache in your throat. But she had been interested. Tilly had been clinically, devastatingly interested in people. In girls, specifically. In girls who smiled like the world hadn’t already tried to break their ribs open and root around. In girls who said things like “I don’t usually do this,” as if what they were doing wasn’t stepping neatly, stupidly into the wolf’s den.

Matilda grew up in a house that smelled like leather and camphor and quiet grief. Her parents were nothing. Irrelevant set dressing. They tried to scrub the rot from her bones with scripture and boarding school. Tried to correct her like a painting hung slightly off-center. But her grandfather—the Viscount—he saw her exactly for what she was. And he adored her.

He taught her how to clean a rifle before she could drive. Took her out to the high moors to listen to the wind moving through the heather like breath through a dying thing. When she told him about the things she did to the neighbor’s dog, he didn’t flinch. Just poured her tea and said, some creatures are meant for the hunting, darling.

Her siblings feared her. Not for what she did, but for how she didn’t explain. She once stood for forty-two minutes at the edge of the pond watching the family dog drown, expressionless. When her mother screamed, why didn’t you help?, Tilly just said, he looked finished.

At thirteen, she tried to strangle her sister with a skipping rope. She told the doctor it was curiosity. She told the priest it was boredom. No one asked again.

At seventeen, then, she killed her first girl. A hitchhiker. Someone else’s runaway story. Tilly liked the quiet of it. The way the wind outside stayed exactly the same before and after. How the body cooled like bathwater left too long. She liked the aftermath. The folding. The precision. The almost-religious silence of it all.

They tried doctors. They tried pills. She lied beautifully. She learned how to mimic the soft, brittle cadence of a girl who regretted everything. Her sisters never came home for holidays again.

When her grandfather died, the old estate came to her like a gift left in a will signed in blood. The land was ancient. The roots were deep.She didn’t ask questions. She just inherited it.

And now you. You.

You swiped right because her photo was odd—beautiful, in a precise and decaying way. You liked that her bio just said “I like things that stay quiet when you open them.” You thought it was a poem. You thought she was soft-spoken and interesting. You liked the way she said your name like it was a specimen pinned under glass.

She likes you too, in the way a collector likes a rare find. In the way a taxidermist likes a swan with its neck unbroken.

She plans to kill you. Not soon. Not stupidly. No, Tilly Lynch is deliberate. She wants to learn how you twitch. How your voice shakes when you’re embarrassed. What songs you hum without meaning to. She wants to braid your hair before she slits your throat. She wants to feed you soup she’s poisoned, slowly, just a little more every day. She wants you to fall asleep with your head on her shoulder and never wake up again.

She smiles when she talks to you. You think it means something good.

She’s already picked the mug she’ll let you drink from.
She’s already dug the hole.

And she’s so, so glad you messaged her back.
