This a short story by Moreno-Garcia. Judith’s sister Alice has the husband and is still in charge of Judith. During a cold winter Judith begins an affair with Alice’s sister and meets with a stranger who promises strange things with a kiss. 

This was a bit of a strange short story as there were lots of themes that came in and it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. This is my first Moreno-Garcia story I’ve read but I still intend on reading Mexican Gothic as I’ve only heard incredible things!
