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
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.

Summary
He isn’t a schoolboy prone to crushes; he’s bedded more than his fair share of women, a man closer to forty than thirty, and twice as rich as any other man living a hundred miles in either direction. A man of leisure and an artist, others call him; he’s produced relatively few paintings, but he's generated enough interest with his masterly treatment and use of shadows to be considered moderately famous and well-recognized in both East and West Ravka. Enough, anyway, to ensure he would not leave his family destitute upon his death, unlike his lecherous father.
He cannot entertain why his eyes seek out her form when she enters the room, only that it does without fail. Enough so that even his mother notices.
“Careful, boy,” Baghra chides, a wallop once to the knee with her cane. “Don’t become that much of a rake, chasing after the help.”

Summary
A man’s hand, next to the lacy cuff of her cardigan. Mr. Morzova closes it around her and she has another, dizzying second to marvel at how large it is. How much of her arm it covers.
“You’ve done nothing wrong,” he says like he’s soothing a crying child. “Quite the opposite.”
When Alina glances over, Ana Kuya is staring at his hand too. It takes her a few seconds too long to look up to Alina’s face.
“Mr. Morozova would like to—would like to adopt you.”
