    Summary

    The balcony is empty. The air is thick with summer heat.

    Michaela steps closer than she should. Francesca's legs part, almost reflexively, for her husband’s cousin. Michaela slips between them and rests her hands on Francesca's thighs.

    She leans in. Francesca can smell the limoncello on her breath. Her nose brushes Francesca's cheek.

    "Tell me it's killing you like it's killing me," Michaela whispers against her skin.

    Francesca trembles. Her need pulses in her chest, her stomach, lower still.

    "Please, Fran."

    "We can't."

    "I know. I know."

    -OR-

    Francesca Stirling is a high-powered Manhattan attorney on her eighth round of IVF. Her husband's cousin, Michaela, arrives for the summer and immediately upends Francesca's routines. When her husband leaves for a work trip to London, Francesca is forced to reckon with the woman she has spent years refusing to look at — and with the question of whether she can finally become herself without breaking the man who loves her.

    Summary

    Michaela sells flowers for apologies and confessions.

    Francesca doesn’t seem interested in either as she helps make people's decisions feel permanent.

    When a tattoo parlor expansion brings them together, what starts as business quickly turns into something harder to define. Something that is measured in glances, half-finished conversations, and tension that refuses to stay subtle.

    Somewhere in the middle of it all, Michaela realizes this isn’t just another order while Francesca realizes that this isn't just another sketch she can ink onto skin.

    Summary

    So yeah, maybe Santos had Garcia’s driver card stuck to her bedroom mirror during her formative teenage years, and maybe that headshot of Garcia with the trademark no-nonsense look on her face played some small part in her discovering her sexuality. And maybe in the back of her mind, she was thinking of Garcia when she declared her major in mechanical engineering, when she was pulling all-nighters with the FSAE team, when she was doing her PhD at the University of Pittsburgh before everything fell apart, again. Whatever, it’s not weird.

    Summary

    Santos turned back, but did not seem convinced. “What did I say to her? She let the intrusive thoughts win and kissed her mommy boss. On the mouth. I said she should get laid and go to electroshock therapy, and not necessarily in that order.”

    Cassie McKay wants to show Victoria what she’s been missing in the world. Turns out that Victoria might just want to learn more than she’s willing to teach.
