Summary
There are no gentle rebirths.
Every sequence of Beatrice is an absorbing force for Ava and her worries. Time always passes differently in her presence. Slow. Relenting. Even black holes provide comfort, keeping the light safe inside. A lighthouse. Both shelter and warning. Their weight an anchor in an otherwise hostile environment.
And there is something else there—a diffracted similarity to Beatrice. A suggestion that they’re both different from everyone else. Like pieces of the same whole. Two fragments of the same rock, humming with identical resonance.

Summary
"Am I allowed to test the verity of your words?" With the question, Ava moved to stand in the middle of the kitchen and bowed like a host about to introduce a magic act.
In hindsight, her challenge was nothing but a display of delusion, for Ava had never charmed a betrothed woman or man. Her game mostly worked against anarchistic minds like her own, who, in the first place, would never fall prey to holy matrimony. Nonetheless, in her reverie, all possibilities, especially that of buckling under her brother’s wife, outdid Ava’s ability to give a shit.
Michael just stared, thoughts scintillating behind his eyes, a look that Ava recognized from her teenage years, particularly when he would catch her doing something he had not asked.
