Summary
It takes exactly 10 minutes of practice for Jamie to decide she hates Dani Clayton.
She hates her stupid socks pulled up to her knees.
She hates the tape that sits under her shins.
Most of all she hates how easy it is for her to fall into place when she’s had to work for years to become properly integrated.
or: Dani transfers to the team that Jamie plays for in a World Cup year and Jamie hates the whole situation.

Summary
There’s a little piece of Sara in everything she does, it’s not something she notices until she’s gone.
It shows in the way that she talks with the Legends, in the way that she knows exactly what they’re going to do, in the way that she lets them do exactly that. It’s not something she would’ve allowed before falling into this with Sara. It manifests in so many ways that it begins to take its toll on her and she finds herself constantly comparing herself to her.

Summary
There was a cardboard box sitting on her office chair when she arrived. A yellow Post-It was stuck to the top, bearing the words “help yourself” in sloppy handwriting that Carol immediately recognized. She knew what she would find inside, but she opened the box anyway. Sure enough—it was a collection of business casual attire, clearly pre-owned but seemingly devoid of holes and stains.
Helen Umstead can go fuck herself, Carol thought.
or;
The story of Carol and Helen.

Summary
Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
[...]
“Well, then? Do you need something?”
Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
“Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”or
a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.

Summary
When Helen tags along with her client on a writer's retreat, she thinks fabricating her own writing chops will be the biggest challenge the trip has to offer. But the setting reminds Carol a little too starkly of things she'd rather not remember, and more than anything Helen is determined to protect her from them all.
