Summary
“The church was… the only path before me, at the time, and I never questioned it," Beatrice admits.
“And now?” he asks, looking concerned, and Bea realizes she’s curled into herself against the counter. She didn’t even notice how small she’d become. He offers her the sugar. She takes it.
“Now, I think differently,” Beatrice says, rising to her full height, rolling her shoulders back. Now, the future is an open road, and she’s got her hands at ten and two and her foot on the gas.
Now, she sees how wrong it was: to be pushed into giving up her life as if it would mean she would no longer ache to live it, as if that could ever be possible. Now, she is learning how to choose herself. Sometimes when you’ve suffered a whole lot, it’s hard to stop, but she’s trying. She takes a sip of her tea, savoring the sweetness on her tongue.
“What about God?”
“What about Him?” Beatrice answers, trying to sound sure of herself. “I'm– I'm fairly confident that He still loves me.”
(Or, post-canon Beatrice, learning how to love herself while she waits for Ava to come back.)

Summary
Please hold the door. Please hold the door.
Maddie begs silently, manifesting that the stranger she can just about make out in the elevator will sense her desperation and hold the door for her. She could call out to him, but she’s too concentrated on juggling the cardboard box in her arms and trying to make it to in time to think about that.
Fortunately, the kind stranger seems to read her mind, reaching his hand out to hold the door while she breaks out into an awkward jog, barely peeking out over the chopping board that’s sticking out of the box.
She slips into the elevator with the grace of a giraffe on roller skates, catching her breath for a moment before looking at the man opposite her.
Or, while moving into her new apartment, Maddie ends up stuck in the elevator with Chimney.

Summary
“It’s very lovely to see you, Yoimiya,” Ayaka said as neutrally as possible, though the slight snort from Thoma almost possessed her foot to kick him in the shin. “To what do I owe the… pleasure?” She tried not to think about how high her voice had gotten since Yoimiya’s appearance.
“Oh! Easy!” Yoimiya answered. She drew herself up from her slightly bent-over posture, then grinned, wide and happy and striking Ayaka's heart between the ribs. “I want you to kiss me!”
Ayaka almost shattered her teacup.
—
Or, Ayaka can't seem to wrap her mind around Yoimiya's remarkable candor.

Summary
“But I have a girlfriend,” Regina says, a little desperately. “Back in Evanston, where I grew up.”
“It’s true,” Sharon chimes in hastily. “They’ve been friends their whole lives.”
“Cady,” Regina says reflexively, without really thinking about what she’s committing to. “We’ve known each other since we were in kindergarten.”
“There will be an article about it out soon,” Sharon adds. “Regina is actually flying out to Illinois tomorrow to visit her. Summer break, you know.”
Okay, that’s definitely going overboard, but it’s not like Regina can object. She just nods.or
When Regina needs to convince a director to give her a part in a movie, she says she's dating her childhood best friend, Cady. Problem is, she hasn't spoken to Cady in three years.
