Summary
“Hi,” says a gruff voice. “This is the Just-Been-Kissed PD. Anyone in your house who might’ve just been kissed?”
Carol laughs at the put-on accent, her toes curling against the carpeted floor. “Helen?”

Summary
Three days since she climbed out of a helicopter on her front lawn, grabbed a handle of whiskey, and crawled into bed. Three days since she started drinking until she lost consciousness, only to wake up and do it all over again. And again. She doesn’t remember much beyond retching over the toilet in the dark, cool porcelain pressed into her cheek, fingers opening and closing around empty air.
Three days, during which it occurs to her that she hasn’t heard from Manousos at all.

Summary
It’s only been a little over a month, but already the warmth of Helen pressed against her chest is an anchor, any tension in Carol’s limbs unspooling over the steady thrum of her pulse.

Summary
She consciously ignores the memory of being introduced to Helen in the lobby a few weeks ago; doesn’t think about how her silver thumb ring had briefly skimmed over Carol’s knuckles when they shook hands. Or the smile that had crept up Helen’s full cheeks while they made small talk about Wycaro.

Summary
“Helen,” Carol said quietly, pushing herself up on one elbow.
She had stopped reading then, looking over the tops of the pages at Carol. “The first time Lucasia takes Raban to her bunk is different.”

Summary
“I mean, are you just not into me? ‘Cause you can just say it. I’m not that thin-skinned.”
Carol is staring back, totally blank. Her lips have fallen just slightly open — those perky pink lips that press together when she hears something funny, that tug sideways when she’s embarrassed, the lips Helen’s watched sipping glasses of wine for months now and has never been allowed to touch.

Summary
She could probably count on two hands the number of times she’d smoked in her adult life, despite Helen’s unwavering commitment to habit. It endeared Carol in the way that she’d managed to romanticize the rest of Helen’s quirks after decades together but it never felt like it was for her, a remnant from a rebellious childhood she didn’t want to re-summon, a molotov cocktail of superstition and religious guilt that had never quite left her. Helen had her vices, and so did she.

Carol picks up a new habit during the gap, which sparks a few memories she'd rather forget.

Summary
Albuquerque stretches wide around her, burnt and alien and empty. It feels quiet and full of ghosts. The Others were creepy and corporate, annoying; not to mention Zosia with her tour guide enthusiasm and that big-mouth smile that… well anyway, Carol’s alone now and fuck it, whatever. Who hasn’t fantasised about living alone with wolves before?
