Summary
Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.
Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.
(Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

Summary
“Come on. One match. I’ll sweeten the deal,” Ava adds, “Let’s bet on it.”
“A wager?” Beatrice raises her left eyebrow ever so slightly.
Ava’s not sure where all this unearned confidence of hers is coming from, but she decides to lean into it. It’s kind of sexy and empowering. The fact she has never won a bout against Beatrice, not even kind of, not even once, is not one worth taking seriously. Today Ava feels lucky.

Summary
“I’ll teach you how to drive,” Beatrice mumbles. Exhaustion drags her vowels out more than usual, softer and messier than usual, and Ava wants to touch her, wants to fix the loose strand of hair over her temple, wants to press her fingertips to the freckles she knows are there even if the faint light hides them. “If you want."
“Gonna hold you to that one, Bea,” Ava says instead. It earns her a half a smile, sleepy and unguarded, even as Beatrice’s eyes stay closed, and Ava smiles for the first time since they were in the Vatican.

Summary
Some days, in Switzerland, Ava and Beatrice take a walk.
**
The trail curves, narrows, forcing Ava to take a side step closer to Beatrice. Between them, their knuckles brush, and Beatrice doesn’t pull away like she used to.
She’s wearing one of her too-large sweaters, the kind Ava steals back at the apartment, rolling up the sleeves around her wrists, smelling like Beatrice’s cheap corner store shampoo and the detergent the two of them share.

Summary
Ava would apologize but she’s not sorry at all: Beatrice is here, and Ava is tipsy, and the night is going great despite the fact that has perhaps possibly dug herself into a tiny financial hole betting on eight ball skills that she absolutely does not have.
