Add to basket"You look-" she starts. Stops. Her voice carries three additional decades in it now, and her eyes are bright in the way that eyes go bright before they do something else. And then: "You found a night shift."
For eight hundred years, Evangeline Voss has perfected the art of disappearing in plain sight. She works the graveyard shift at a Brooklyn 7-Eleven, serves coffee to insomniacs, replaces the hot dogs at 4am, and keeps her employee-of-the-month plaque face-down in her locker. She does not invite questions. She does not form attachments. She does not explain the decades of obituaries she has quietly outlived, or why her handwriting matches letters in eighteenth-century archives.
Then Priya Anand arrives on a Wednesday-PhD student, chronic reorganizer of protein bar sections, constitutionally incapable of leaving a question unanswered. She has a notebook with soft, compacted pages from being carried everywhere, a pen she keeps in her bun, and the specific quality of attention that makes Evangeline feel, for the first time in centuries, genuinely observed.
What begins as a slow collision of silences grows across a decade, then two, then three: phone calls in the 3am quiet, voice notes sent across oceans, postcards carried in apron pockets long after the shifts that earned them. Priya builds a career studying the invisible labor of the night shift, and slowly, with the patient precision of an excellent researcher, she builds a case for something else entirely. Evangeline watches. Files things she has no clean name for. Calls it something other than what it is.
Night Shift is a love story told in fluorescent light and long years-about a vampire who has spent three centuries surviving loss by never quite arriving, and the woman who decides that knowing what she is changes nothing about what she feels. It asks what it means to love someone across asymmetrical time, and whether staying-really staying-might be the bravest thing either of them has ever done.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
