Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.
or
the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
Reya folded her hands in front of her, “What are you missing, really? What from your world could be worth disrupting this tranquillity for?”
And for the first time since arriving in this prison, Ava smiled.
Because the question - the two questions, which proved she was disrupting Reya - provoked only one genuine thought.
Bea.
“Love.” Ava said softly; she could feel an ache in her cheeks, muscles stretching to make a smile she hadn’t in a long time.
or,
“Convince me that your world, and its disruptive love, is worth returning to and I shall let you go with the halo.” Reya announced, chin raised in challenge.

Summary
At the end of the fucking world, Beatrice is beautiful.
Not in that pseudo-glamorous way vampires always are when they’re the subject of movies and television shows, or the gothic elegance of how they’re described in books, but in a simple, effortless way that makes Ava’s heartbeat feel at home a little too close to the surface of her chest. To Ava, the entire apocalypse is a vivid, vibrant neon, from the city's kaleidoscopic street signs to the complicated collision of elements that spark inside of her body whenever Beatrice runs her tongue over the edge of a fang, or laughs at one of her stupid jokes, or brings her lips to the delicate skin of Ava's wrist and drinks.
If you want my blood this badly, Beatrice, Ava says with a smirk, you can earn it.

Summary
Ava likes to think of herself as adaptable. When the opportunity for a little alone time with Beatrice presents itself, she’d be crazy not to take advantage.
So, here she is, sitting on the very library table that started it all, once again coaxing her dear reluctant girlfriend into a little fooling around.
