Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

The office is cold. The curry puff on her desk is still warm.
“So,” she says, barely glancing up. “Team leader application?”
“Yes.”
“You’re new to this industry?”
“In a formal sense, yes.”
“Last role?”
“Music. International. I stepped back recently.”
She doesn’t flinch. “So you’re between lives.”
He smiles at how lyrical that sounds. “Something like that.”
