Summary
"How long?"
“How long what?”
“Have you been in love with her.”
Had it been said in any other way, by anyone else, at any other time, Yelena would have broken their neck.
Or
Yelena doesn't do feelings.
She certainly doesn't have feelings about Kate getting engaged to Eli, she simply thinks her best friend can do better. But if Kate won't listen to her superb advice, what can she do? She doesn't have any horse in this game, or whichever of those ridiculous American sayings Kate is always using. She doesn’t care that her best friend, the most compassionate person she knows, is promising her future to someone who peaked in high school and now coasts on his grandparents' legacy.
Kate can do whatever she wants, Yelena doesn’t care.

Summary
“Hello, Kate Bishop, you can put the knife down.”
Kate frowns, tucking the knife closer to her side without thinking. “I’m not holding a knife.”
“You’re a terrible liar,” Yelena says, head tilted to the side in the most disarming way possible. “My knife is not currently in my hand,” Yelena holds up both hands, palms facing Kate. “See?” She wiggles her fingers and Kate swallows the lump in her throat. “I’m not here to fight or frighten you.”
Kate scoffs, “you don’t frighten me.”
“Not today, no.”

Summary
Unbound for a second, Beatrice lifts her hand back up. There’s no dirt, no excuse, but she palms Ava’s face again, just to feel it, just for that special close lipped smile that graces Ava’s face again, just for her to sigh.
She removes it quickly—not quickly enough, too quickly—catching Ava’s eyes when they open again.
“Now,” Beatrice says, voice soft and serious. “Let’s try again.”
Ava nods, the halo glows, her feet leave the ground, and she doubles her time.
—
Beatrice realizes that her touch helps Ava with her training, and, well, things escalate.
