    Summary

    “Eh,” Roman says, “She’ll realize one of the prerequisites for being a soapbox lefty is not having a trust fund, and she’ll cool off into a two-faced Corporate Dem, like a good rich kid. Don’t you worry.”

    Shiv scoffs. “Where’s your sense of possibility, Rome?”

    “Dad ate it when I was, like, five.”

    Summary

    Shiv now rolls her tongue along the roof of her mouth and is astounded to feel a fat hair - yuck, it’s one of Mondale’s - writhe. She gingerly plucks it from where it has stuck to the inside of her cheek. No space is hers anymore. [...] An idea jumps on her without warning, such that she flinches sharply. Has Tom been letting Mondale out of Monjail and up into their bed when she’s not around? Is he only caged for show? Does the dog roam free?

    ~~~~~

    Shiv sees the end of her marriage is in sight, but she hasn't been fired; she quits it first.

    Summary

    The night they come home from Tom’s coronation party, the first frozen block of blood is waiting for them on their brownstone doorstep.

    It’s not Matsson’s.

    ***

    Or, on the Roy family as a haunted house and the inherent horror of impending motherhood.

    Summary

    Roman’s never had a name for this thing before. He's managed to put labels on other things as he's grown up—like calling out anxiety attacks when his chest hurts or blaming his constant fidgeting on "stress hormones." But this feeling of shrinking around family has been there since forever, leaving him feeling vulnerable and tiny and unable to talk, like he can't find the right words or make sense of it.

    Something is wrong inside of him. He wants to reach into himself and rip it out.

    Or: Roman is mentally stuck at the age he was abused at. He doesn’t know how to grow up. No one lets him.
