Chapter 1. Citlali (she)

A vampire named Citlali receives an email from an old lover who broke her heart centuries ago. The message says the immortal is dead and she left a key for Citlali in a bank in New York. But the same message had been sent to two other persons whose identity Citlali ignores and the safe can only be opened if the three of them are present.

Dear Citlali is a queer polyamorous paranormal romance.

It is my entry for ONC 2024. The prompt I've chosen is "20. Three strangers. Two secrets. One key."

This story is set in the For Centuries Universe but can be read as a standalone.
