    Summary

    The winter that Jackie Taylor stopped talking was an especially frigid ordeal. It had arrived in early October with a fury of flurries that quickly transformed, without warning, into a barrage of blinding snowbursts. By early December, blizzards blanketed the town’s tired streets with boundless layers of snow above ice above snow (and repeat). When Jackie stopped talking in early March, the spring thaw had only barely announced itself. As piles of compacted ice and snow just barely shed their layers, it seemed to some as if nothing was changing at all.

    Unlike the winter’s subtle entrance, Jackie’s mutism appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Almost nothing comes out of nowhere.

    Nobody knows the exact moment when Jackie stopped talking - whether her voice faded silently into the night or if it was suddenly stolen from her; that's between Jackie and God Himself.

    Or: Jackie Taylor has suddenly stopped speaking, and even Shauna can't figure out why. It takes a night of shenanigans with Lottie and Nat and an unnecessary number of calls to Shauna for them to finally crack Jackie Taylor wide open.

    Summary

    Jackie had a plan, and like many things in her life, this plan started perfectly.

    She had found an excuse to leave practice earlier.

    She had found an excuse for Shauna to not suspect a thing.

    She had found an excuse for her parents to think she needed to stay longer at practice.

    She had managed to get a visit later than normal clients would to take that test.

    But she hadn't planned for Lottie Matthews to also skipping practice of all people.

    (Aka Jackie planning to check if she's autistic and Lottie tagging along because yes)

    Summary

    They call Narcan a miracle drug. A well-timed dose can save a life, but it can't erase the memory of her body crumbling, of kneeling over her and desperately praying to a long-dead God, of watching the ambulance drive away and take all your light with it.

    Or: Nat forgives easily. Misty doesn't.
