    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    Rumi had learned a long time ago that her body was… more resilient than the average human. She wasn't invincible. Her body still bent and broke and popped and bled in an irritatingly human way sometimes. However she tended to heal at a supernatural rate. A broken arm healed in a matter of minutes. A gash closed over in a handful of seconds. The honmoon helped to speed up the healing of its hunters, but not to this level. Not to this extreme.

    Still, the first time Rumi gets hit by a bus she is immensely grateful that 1) it is her and not one of her girls that was hit, 2) her demon healing has already started to repair her snapped spine as she careens through the air and 3) that Zoey and Mira are still in the alley way and won't have to watch this happen.

    Summary

    “Hey, Rumi. Look at me,” Mira cupped Rumi’s face and forced her wild eyes to stare into hers. She took one of her hands and placed it over her heart, letting her feel the calm beat and even breathing beneath her fingers. “Feel that? Try and follow it with me okay? Deep breaths. In and out.”

    Rumi nodded harshly, brow pinching as her eyes clung to Mira’s. Her breathing stuttered a few times but slowly began to return to normal. Mira could feel her fingers begin to tap on her chest to the rhythm of her heart, a habit that she’d noticed Rumi liked to do when she was focusing or trying to calm herself down.

    Something fluttered in her chest at the thought of Rumi using her heartbeat to sooth herself.

    Summary

    Her heart betrayed her, skipping too fast when Mira spun into the spotlight. The taller woman’s gaze slid past the cameras then. It met her own in the crowd, and when Mira's grin curved—not wild, but soft and quick, almost imperceptible—Rumi felt her throat go dry.

    Because she knew that smile.

    That smile wasn’t for the thousands screaming in the performance hall. It wasn’t for the headlines, or the fans, or the cameras desperate to capture the next viral still.

    It was for her.

    Her chest tightened, breath catching like it always did in these moments. The rest of the world saw her biggest rival.

    But Rumi saw the woman who made her goodnight-blend tea at two in the morning when she couldn’t sleep. The one who texted her dumb memes just to make her laugh when she got nervous before an interview. The person she loved in a way she couldn’t admit aloud, not here.
