Summary
Ada, across the bed. Ada, a flash of red cashmere in the crowd in the rain. Ada, and the curve of her neck the same curve of his cheek. Her ribs the same curve of his arms.
Ada in the sky, leaving him.
Chestnut eyes. Saffron. Daybreak.

Summary
Leon, she always thinks, is perpetually bracing, every muscle in him pulled together by an emergency stitch that’s supposed to hold the wound of his entire body shut. Every frown line, every scar wrapping around the contours of his bones is a silent demarcation of pain.
She imagines the stitches of her own body unraveling, row by row, until she’s undone every suture inside her and realized that there’s nothing left — that this whole time, her body was just the aftermaths of the scars she suffered to invent herself, holding themselves together, and nothing more.
