Summary
Looking at Beatrice, the freckles dusted across her nose and the way her eyes crinkle when she laughs, Ava is hit by a wave of melancholy. Why did her life here have to come now? It feels as if she’s living her life backwards, part of some cruel joke played upon Ava by a God which hates her. This should be saved for a time when so much pressure did not rest upon her shoulders. This brief haven of pure companionship, a simple life, normal jobs, sharing a bed with someone beautiful – why now? Why make her experience such wonder when the inevitable will come, when it will be snatched from her overnight?

Summary
Ava shrugs, a movement filled with faux innocence, and Beatrice watches the rise and fall of her shoulders like it’s something fascinating. “You look like a girl who’d sit in that diner with her back to the world, drinking some awful black coffee and thinking about a novel she once read that was set on a street just like that one.”
Beatrice laughs, both startled and a little irritated to be read so devastatingly accurately by a perfect stranger. “Are you insulting me?”
“Oh God, no.” Ava’s eyes widen as if she is genuinely horrified by the thought, “I’m trying to flirt with you.”

Summary
It was a rainy September afternoon when Ava first saw the nun.
She was cutting through the arts and theater building to avoid the downpour, her sneakers squeaking shamefully on the nice tile floor as she hurried through, hoping she'd be able to make it her to the student union without getting any more waterlogged and damning herself for the thousandth time for not bringing an umbrella, when she happened to notice someone leaning against the wall of a hallway as she passed. She slowed down and realized the person was a nun, navy blue habit and all. And she looked like she was having a panic attack.
Ava keeps running into a nun around campus and they become friends. Just friends, of course, Ava is definitely not developing a crush.
