At Carlotta’s funeral, Michael notes there are “thirteen portals” (813) in the Mayfair crypt. A little while later, he begins the renovations of the First Street house. Rowan says to spare no expense, and Michael hires a variety of people, including a gardener, painters, and plumbers. Lawyers from Mayfair and Mayfair appraise and inventory the items in the house. Meanwhile, Rowan meets with various members of the family. Lasher does not interfere with the renovations. Michael opens a storefront for his renovating business, Great Expectations, and looks into other local properties.
Aaron looks through Julien’s books, which catalog his vendettas, and Lasher pushes Aaron. Aaron helps Michael learn to turn off his psychic gifts, and he starts spending time without his gloves. He doesn’t drink very much and has lots of sex with Rowan.
Rowan wakes up at four o’clock in the morning and has a few hours to herself before Michael wakes up. She walks around the Garden District before going to the house. Once there, Rowan plays with the Mayfair coins and jewels, including the emerald necklace, whispering to Lasher. He moves tree branches like the wind but disappears when the workers show up and begin their day.
