    Summary

    Aboard the Queen Eve III, Toni and Shelby swore they could keep it casual. Because coworkers living in close quarters can totally have no strings attached sex, right? But below deck and in the heat of yacht season, it turns out nothing between them has ever been casual.

    Summary

    The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.

    She frowns.

    The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.

    Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?

    Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

    Summary

    Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.

    Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.

    (Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

    Summary

    Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.

    What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?

    "Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"

    He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"

    "Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.

    After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.
