    Summary

    “Which one is she? The girl with her hair in the bun?” I asked. From the corner of my eye, I noticed that the girl in question was now intensely staring at me, frustration marring her beautiful face.

    “That’s Beatrice. She’s gorgeous, of course, but don’t waste your time. She doesn’t date. Apparently, no one here is good enough for her.” I wondered when Beatrice had turned him down.

    Summary

    She tells the darkness that she wants to build a life with Ava, says Ava’s name so softly and reverently that her hope begins to make light, sparking a flame. She imagines every grand detail, and every small one, too: going back to their place in the Alps, holding Ava’s hand in the broad openness of their town, drinking with her on Friday nights, kissing her hello and goodbye and for no reason at all.

    She wants to carry Ava home after a long night. She wants Ava in her clothes, Ava in nothing at all, to never feel shame again. She doesn’t think she could; she could never be ashamed of loving Ava.

    Come back, she thinks as the sun starts to rise, as she feels enough peace to close her eyes. Come back. There is so much I can’t wait to do with you.

    And maybe it’s all the years she spent between pews, or all the times she’s fallen to her knees, or maybe it is just simple truth, however idealistic, but Beatrice really can’t help but think that Ava hears her.

    (or, when Ava goes, Beatrice's family steps up for her as she learns to stand again. Beatrice growing after Ava is gone and after Ava returns to be with her – how they learn to live together, to be alive, and everything that it means.)

    Summary

    At twenty-seven years old, Ava and Beatrice finally have their lives figured out. Ava has a successful career as an event planner, an apartment with her best friend, and—okay, maybe a less than stellar love life, but who doesn't have baggage? And besides, she’s doing pretty well considering the love of her life ran out on her and refused to talk to her ever again.

    Beatrice works for her parents’ company, writes in her free time, and just got engaged to her best friend. Her life is going exactly the way it’s supposed to, all according to the plan her parents have been following since the day she was born. And she’s pretty sure she’s happy. As long as she ignores the part of her that regrets leaving the person she still considers her soul mate, that is.

    The two of them haven’t spoken in five years, but that all changes when Beatrice appears in Ava’s office one morning with her new fiancée and a job offer that could change everything. Ava isn't exactly thrilled about planning a party to celebrate Beatrice's engagement to someone else, but pulling this off will mean big things for her career. And she can handle working with her definitely-more-than-a-friend who she can't quite seem to get over, right?
