Summary
Beatrice has been very good with keeping her distance and maintaining boundaries and it's fine. Honestly, it's fine.
Until Ava books a weekend getaway. In the middle of the woods. During a blizzard.- Language:

Summary
“Some people think a soulmate is the person God creates for you. Others say it’s the soul yours has been drawn to time and time again, throughout multiple lives. Some even believe that each pair was formed during the creation of the universe itself.” Beatrice looks up at the sky, as though she might find an answer somewhere in the long dead stars hanging above them. “I’ve always liked that one, actually; that the particles ripped into being alongside each other formed a connection that would last as long as our universe did. I’m not sure it makes much sense in practice. But it sounds lovely.”
“Less cruel, at least,” Ava murmurs, and Beatrice turns at the sadness in her voice, drawing in a sharp breath when she sees the emotion so amplified in Ava’s eyes. “Because a god who created the whole soulmates thing in the first place, told you that you don’t get one, and then made you spend your entire life telling other people about theirs kind of sounds like a huge asshole, if you think about it.”
Which is, of course, why Beatrice so often tries not to think about it. Especially when Ava is looking at her the way she is now and she’s reminded of all the things she’ll never have (all the things she desperately wants).

Summary
(She thinks of her, and she thinks of her: Oh, let me be your undoing, and they don’t always get a chance to try.
But then it’s perhaps especially that there’s no time; perhaps there’s some sick passion in the idea of never enough. Perhaps that’s why they’re always brought together eventually. Doomed to see, to touch, to care; destined never to stay. Destined never to just exist.
Very rarely do they get the lives they deserve.)

Summary
They had already seen the Halo’s power. Its gifts and its limits. But it’s only when Ava’s guttural scream echoes around the open area they find themselves fighting wraith demons in —when they feel, rather than hear, how it tears itself from her throat, some sound almost primal to its core— that they stand to witness the true power of the Halo.
or, Ava should have glowing golden eyes when unlocking 100% of the halo.
