Summary
The farmer’s a pretty girl, but she doesn’t take well to second chances. She’s nice enough to his grandparents, but she always keeps her distance around Alex. And it’s a shame really, because he kind of wants another chance. When he sees her laughing with Harvey or Maru or Penny, the laugh seems to escape from her, like she did her best and couldn't keep it in. If she ever gets a glimpse of him, she stops. It’d almost be funny if it didn’t tick him off so much.
The farmer has never been able to resist disappointing people. Alex is well acquainted with disappointment. But for some reason, he just can't stay away.

Summary
She wakes up in a cold bed, Raleigh burning like a furnace next to her. Lying there, she tries to remember: what his stomach looked like the day she met him, how his eyes would have looked. If only she had turned her head to meet them—were they detached or anxious or worse, soft, burning into her? The memories are like fog slipping through her fingers, that time when all her days were full, when there was no time for longing and for memory. Of course she’s never seen a bear before, of course there was no one to hold a hand over her mouth like that when it was time to be quiet. She learned to embrace the silence all on her own.
Mako tries to understand who she and Raleigh are without the Drift.

There are only so many ways for Shepard's clone to spend her days.

Summary
They round a blind corner and Hawke nearly trips over Knight Captain Cullen's armoured back. Hawke lowers her staff as he straightens. She's never had any quarrel with Cullen. At his feet, as expected, are a few drops of blood soaked into the sand.
"Champion," he says, grim-faced. "I suppose there's no point requesting you leave this matter to the Templars."
Hawke shrugs one-handed, her face a picture of innocence. "Can't a girl follow a blood trail on the Wounded Coast anymore?" She sharpens her expression into something pointed. "You're saying this is Templar business?"
