    Summary

    “Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”

    Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

    Summary

    Lives and lives and lives, jumbled together like discarded christmas lights, flickering on and off at random until she’s sure that her brain can’t hold any more. She and Marianne are happy, sometimes, when the fates line up just right. Once they live their lives on an island, in a tiny village, and they raise their own goats. In another, they grow tulips and everything smells of flowers, always. Sometimes, no, not so happy.

    Héloïse remembers. Marianne doesn't.

    Summary

    She heads South. Ellie heads East. They’re just two people on a perpendicular line who may never come back around to meet again.

    Aster tries to be okay with that.

    Summary

    "I like being on my own."

    "Only, you might not be on your own."

    Ominous! It got Marianne leaning in despite herself. "What do you mean?"

    "There's a ghost. Everyone knows. They call her The Lady in White. A poltergeist."

    It's 2019 and Marianne arrives at a remote house for a few weeks of peace and quiet. Héloïse has been trying to find some peace a lot longer.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s a sign from someone, how your thoughts still manage to run parallel to hers even after all this time apart. How you’d managed to go so long with an Aster Flores-sized hole in your life, you don’t even know, but now you can’t bring yourself to imagine it without her again.

    or, when Ellie and Aster reunite a few years later, Ellie notices something pretty damn adorable.
