    Summary

    “I’m sorry,“ Michaela said.

    She covered her face with her palms, wiped at the tears and the foolish smile working its way down to her lips as she heard him shift but not leave. Her voice was slightly muffled as the words started to fall.

    “I … I know I’m not making much sense. It’s just … it’s been hard and…“

    -and I’ve missed you.

    She couldn't say that. And yet it sat right on the tip of her tongue.

    Summary

    “Oh no. I know what the problem is— you’re spending too much time around criminals. Oh sweetie, I know you probably can’t remember the last time you saw a man without a face tattoo, but—”

    Alina nearly chokes on her first sip of wine, coughing as she splutters. “That’s just rude and judgemental of all parties— one of my patients today was entirely tattoo-less, I’ll have you know.”

    or: Alina is a correctional nurse. Aleksander is an inmate.

    Summary

    They begin their lives together on July 18th in a large, brick house near the water in Grenada, Mississippi. They are given a childhood of warmth — of welcome curiosity, of hushed secrets, of delicate, fragile serenity under the watchful eye of ancient trees, blessed with the gift of never knowing profound, natural solitude.

    "There is you," Aleksander always says, "and there is me."

    They begin their death together too, in a tiny, one-bedroom apartment on the southern tip of Middlesex County up in New Jersey, where they attended university the way they did everything else: joined by the hip.

    Theirs is a history still being written. Sometimes in pencil, sometimes in ink.
