Summary
He considers her. Treks that moonshine glare down the stretch of her torso and legs, popping the cigarette back between his lips. She remembers those prized pigs prepped for slaughter on her grandfather’s farm, assessed and preened for inspecting eyes. Her chin lifts.
With one foot, he kicks his door open wide. The smell of smoke and linseed oil wafts out. “In,” he says.

Summary
“I’m Aleksander,” he continues and she nods as if that explains why she’s in this strange room and why he opened the door because—
“Where is Matthias?” she asks, voice trembling just enough that she knows he noticed. “I was with him last night, I don’t—” she cuts herself off, shaking her head. It’s all just so confusing and her head has started to throb dully. “I don’t know how I got here. I don-don’t remember.”
Aleksander steps forward and when Alina doesn’t shy away he disentangles her hand from her dress where she’d been anxiously wringing it and leads her out of the room, throws a “Let’s go find him” over his shoulder with a wink and a smile. His hand is warm around hers and she clings to him trotting along to keep up with his long strides.

Summary
The ride to the hotel might've been five minutes, might've been five years, it's impossible to tell with the waves of heat rolling over him, each one draggin’ him further under than the last. He can see it hitting Elizabeth too. Can see her shudder with each break, her eyes gleamin’ and locked tight on his.
There's a halo flarin’ bright and gold around her curls where she's backlit against the city night rushing by, making her look like some kind of stained glass work of art installed in a church to worship. He knows it's whatever they're on, can tell from the rainbow edges forming on everything around him, but he can't help laugh a little, helpless and bitter.
She's 'bout as close to sainthood as he is.

"I bet Mal's only ever seen tits in porn anyway—"
"What an idiot, does he not realize that people are like, not white? He knows you're Asian, right? That's the bubble of privilege, I guess—"
"Men are just stupid, Alina, there's no right colour of nipple to have, seriously, what is he on—"It's girls' night, meaning that—as usual—Alina is concerned about the state of her body. Zoya’s boyfriend is very nice about it. (A little too nice, if you ask Alina.)

Summary
Alina buries her face in her hands and waits for the words she's been dreading—that she is not meeting his expectations as a wife. That he is going to send her away. The tears won't seem to stop flowing; they flood the cracks between her fingers.
"My poor little wife," Aleksander tsks, walking over to her and placing a finger under her chin and lifting her face to look at him. "It's about time I taught you what it is I truly expect from the Mrs. Morozova, isn't it?"
