    Summary

    “You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
    “You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
    She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
    “You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
    “Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”

    --

    Follows roughly 10 years of one Natalie Scatorccio and one Jacqueline Taylor cohabitating in a Chelsea apartment while they learn how to be adults.

    Summary

    Sundays are for the girls.

    Ava hears that once, passing some brunch place on her way home with a fresh loaf of bread in hand, sure steps heading back to their apartment where she’s hoping to convince Bea they don’t have to keep putting off Ava’s dream of a homemade bread bowl.

    Okay, maybe what she hears is Saturdays are for the boys and maybe it’s from a bunch of guys with biceps the size of their heads. But she likes it enough to remember it as she strolls the rest of the way home so she can tell Beatrice.
