Summary
“So! I swear I can’t see a yard in front of me. Guide me, Nathalie. Your voice is nice.”
Nathalie presses the phone to her ear so hard it hurts, but the facts remain the same. Nathalie is here, Emilie is there.
or: at the end of it all, Nathalie’s wish gets answered, too.

Summary
Adrien rakes his hand through his hair. Gives a small shrug. “So you weren’t romantic. But you didn’t think that maybe one day, you might…?”
“Fall in love?”
Adrien nods.
“No,” Nathalie admits.
Adrien folds his arms on the table and tilts his head to rest on his shoulder. Watching him turn her words over, Nathalie feels as if she’s missing something. Failing a test.
“It’s just that you sounded so sad. When you said it was a miscarriage.”
There's never an end to what Adrien does not know, but there's an end to what Nathalie can give Adrien, isn't there?

Summary
after gaining custody of Adrien, Nathalie weighs what is in his best interest: stay with her, a woman struggling with a role she never wanted, along with an encompassing sense of guilt, or start anew with his aunt?
and if the choice is so clear, why is she hesitating? If the end is inevitable, why delay it?
at the same time, Amelie drops in to foster a relationship with her nephew, expecting to know all the answers already. There’s a word for Nathalie that fits most of the population, after all.
or: what begins as a short investigation into Adrien’s home life turns into something neither Nathalie nor Amelie expected.

Summary
“I keep dreaming of her.” Words come wearily like soft rain, a sleep debt unpayable by the minute gently slurring her sentences. “We’re back and we don’t leave. We don’t have to. She’s there and we did it, sir, we—” She sighs, a cry shuddering underneath like thunder. “It’s not her. I can’t keep her. I can’t hold onto her smile.” Her voice dampens, slows, loses hope. “Because that isn’t what she would do, is it, sir?”
In Gabriel’s chest a slip-stitched suture comes undone. He sets his jaw, wrestles with his argument. She would—she will, he knows. They just haven’t proven themselves, haven’t proved much at all except for how much failure they can rack up together, him and her and all the miles between the three of them. Always harder on Nathalie, whose mind is too focused on the now, the fights she doesn’t disclose to him except in clipped annotations, never saying much about her relationship with Emilie. Flashing resentment in her eyes, as if the leash that hangs from her neck noose-like and slack doesn’t beg for a hand.
And he who knows her best, knows for what she longs, insatiable to the point of self-harm, is a punishment.

Summary
I kissed him suddenly, unable to resist his sweet lips that slotted against mine as if ours were made for each other. And Chris groaned into my mouth, sighing, relaxing against me. For how could this be a sin? How could God create two identical halves, so different, yet so alike, that fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces?

“I gotta level with you,” Greg says a few minutes later, belly full of bird, “If I eat any more songbirds, I’m gonna hurl.”

Summary
She worries that this is when she should brush Yulia's hand away from her cheek. But she doesn't want to do that. She allows it to linger, like it's a dare she's making with herself, seeing how long she can last. Yulia's hand is only gently warm from being inside, but Aglaya can feel herself trying to convince everyone in the room that it burns.
