Summary
Marianne is seventeen. She’s sent away for a few weeks in the summertime to an isolated island where she will stay with her aunt. And while there, of course, she can’t help but enter a mutual fascination with the angry girl who has always lived by the sea, and yet never learned how to swim.
On the horizon, a summer storm approaches.

when you met me, i was still. not calm — clinging
to the cliff behind my eyes. my mind white
as saltspray, a hawk’s cry
twisting wordless on the wind.it is not about turning back.
there is no back. -

“Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”
Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

Summary
Eight years later.
"To bid goodbye, is to say, ‘I must put you into God’s hands, since I can no longer hold you in mine.’ A goodbye is a capitulation to forces bigger, stronger than ourselves, than our wills, our desires. It is a surrender, of someone dear, to the questionable mercies of the world. One quite literally gives them up.” She sipped at her wine. “Goodbyes are shattering, and devastating, and holy. And life is full of them. Do not try to make them easy. Far better to make them worthwhile."

Summary
five times héloïse and marianne don’t know/can’t admit they’re in love with each other & the one time they do.
alternatively: the plotless, accidentally domestic, childhood best friends modern au that literally nobody asked for.
+
“Who are you?” Héloïse asks, feeling the sand crunching inside her shoe. The girl is taller than she had imagined, Héloïse having to tilt her head back to look at her.
“Marianne,” the girl says. She barely cracks a smile, just an enigmatic quirk of her lips.
