    Summary

    Grace and Stratt get stranded in San Francisco. Things spiral from there.

    --

    (“So we just wait here?” Stratt asked, curling her lip in disdain.
    “Well, I’m not up for driving eight hours to Los Angeles, where we might get a chance to catch a commercial flight,” Grace replied in a clipped tone. “But I don’t want to stay here either. Let’s go to my flat.”
    Stratt stared at him.
    “What?”
    “My flat, Stratt,” he replied impatiently. “Listen, our choice is to stay here, sit on the floor and catch so many different strains of bacteria that Lamai will make us the subject of her third PhD, or we can go to my flat, shower like humans and get some sleep. I’ll let you take the bed. Do you seriously see a third option?”)

    Summary

    Eva turns her head to steal a slow, deep breath and finds herself gently nuzzling into the space between his shoulder and neck. She has the unbidden thought that Grace’s body seems perfectly designed for her to slot into, right here.

    What is she doing? She should stop. She should…

    Grace’s hands move, slowly, barely, but they move, tracing ten soft lines across her back. She breathes him in deeply, earthy scent mingling with the salty tang of sweat and musk. It’s comforting. It’s something else, too. Something new.

    Summary

    Something old,

    something new,

    something borrowed,

    something blue.

    -

    Summary

    The power was in letting him say no. When it mattered, she denied him the opportunity. So she pretended that she could make up for it in her dreams. That's the nature of dreams, is it not? Impossible, but without them, there would be no hope. She would never make it up to Grace, except in her dreams, and that was a comfort she had been chasing for twenty years.

    And in the morning, when the guards called for breakfast, Eva would wake up in the reality she actually chose.

    Alone.

    Graceless.
