Summary
Beatrice has had a very difficult year, not that she would admit that to anyone (even herself). Her best friends have convinced her to take some time away from work, soak in some sun, and get back in touch with herself but relaxing proves to be a little harder than it looks – especially with someone like Ava around.

Summary
"What you are is beautiful."
It was the first time Beatrice had heard such words spoken to her.
And for so many years, she thought it would be the last.
But time was a strange thing. And as Beatrice would eventually come to learn, moved slowly when one had the potential to live until time itself crumbled.
And as she moved with time, she clung to those words. Her name was Melanie, Beatrice learned later, and she clung to her for as long as she could.
Beatrice had resigned herself to never hearing them again, not from another's lips, and certainly not in her dreams.
Vampires, Beatrice realised quickly, didn't dream.
She never could have known that one day, more than five hundred years later, she would hear those words again.
Or how those five simple words from one specific girl would change her entire world.
