    Summary

    "'Do you believe in God, Ava?'

    'No.'

    The answer is so definite, so sure. Ava must see the question in her eyes, and elaborates.

    'I believe in life. Sometimes the simple truth of being alive just…moves me.'"

     

    Ava is a biologist working on her dissertation, popping in and out of a small town in Oregon as her field work dictates; Beatrice is just trying to have a quiet life and keep to herself, but that's getting increasingly difficult. Obviously they fall in love.

    Summary

    The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.

    She frowns.

    The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.

    Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?

    Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

    Summary

    “I’m Ava,” you say, looking at Beatrice and holding out a hand. “We’ve already met a few times, so it’s probably high time I introduced myself.”

    “Beatrice,” Beatrice takes your hand and gives it a firm shake, and you’re surprised at the callouses you feel.

    “It’s nice to officially meet you, Beatrice.”

    “Likewise.”

    Beatrice gives you a funny look before looking down at your joined hands. Your eyes follow and you immediately drop hers like you’ve been burned, not realizing you’ve been holding on like a schoolgirl.

    “Sorry,” You tuck your hands in your pockets, where they’re less likely to cause trouble.

    OR

    Ava and Beatrice walk over 600 kilometers from Lisbon, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain and fall in love.
