"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die."

Betrayed. Battered. Broken. 

Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire. 

That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side.

Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.

Waltz with Death

"Evangeline," Fake Death called my attention. "Hey, listen to me."

I was still dazed, holding the empty jar in my hand as he continuously called me. But I didn't pay him any mind, I kept zoning into the memory I had just witnessed.

I didn't remember this memory at all!

I'm genuinely confused about how this memory ended like this because I remembered Klaus as a kind yet slightly manipulative person. Not an obsessive psychopath!

"Is it possible for a memory to change?" I asked, finally acknowledging Fake Death.

"Why?" He seemed genuinely curious about my question.

"What?!" Fake Death shouted, his voice echoing in the chambers of the storage house. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice. Anyway, that can't be possible. They're called memory jars because they contain your  memory, something you experienced in the past--"
