The drums miss a beat.

Summary
“I’ve written you songs. I finished the first one a thousand thousand imaginings ago, of course I’ve written you songs."
“I don’t remember--”
“Of course, you don’t. You never do.”
Or:
Eurydice was Icarus, falling for hubris and burned for it rather than drowned (Daedalus had left years before). She was Ariadne, betrayed for a less needy alternative and left behind to rot (no Dionysus came to save the day). She was Patroclus, diving into war for her lover (too focused elsewhere to see impending doom). She was all these and, most importantly, herself, time and time again.

“When Shiv is thirteen, she cuts off all her hair in the bathroom sink. After dinner, she takes her mother’s fabric shears (which is a joke in itself, as if Caroline would spend her time pleating and ruching and creating- she owns no sewing machine, no spools of thread, just the shears) and locks the door behind her.
A month later, she has to choose between her mother and her father. It’s not a hard choice to make.“Bookmarked by PerduNemo
