Summary
Dr. Emery Walsh has not seen her girlfriend for more than 15 minutes at a time in almost a month. Weeks of awful surgeries, needy med students on rotation, conferences halfway across the country, and brief kisses traded between misaligned shifts. Forgive her if she goes a little insane when finally given the chance.
Or, Emery and Samira miss each other and fuck about it in the back of a car.

Summary
Carol finds it in the third week of living alone with an unhived Zosia: a New York Times article, “To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This.” An intimacy experiment involving thirty-six increasingly personal questions and, at the end of it, four uninterrupted minutes of eye contact, which sounds fake and humiliating and somehow still not bad enough to stop her.
Carol, obviously, prints it out.

Summary
“I don’t think your girlfriend likes me very much,” The patient says, words slurring as he gestures towards the curtain lazily. "The mean surgeon chick who was just here. Dartmouth lady. Your girlfriend. She seems pissed. Are you guys fighting? Or is she always like that?
Samira doesn't mind working on New Year's Eve, mostly because it gives her an excuse to avoid going out. What she does mind is the number of drunk patients who throw up on her, the drunk patients who assume she and Emery Walsh are together because of a shared hoodie, and the drunk patients who demand she and Walsh kiss when the clock hits midnight.

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
Training the next generation of hunters by herself wasn’t supposed to be easy—she had no delusions about that. The day she’d been left alone with a child to raise and centuries worth of legacy on her shoulders brought with it a startling clarity. She was responsible for shaping the warriors fated to seal the Honmoon—solely and indubitably—and she had no intention of neglecting that duty.
What she did neglect, however, was to consider a few… puberty related complications.
If they would all just—stop touching each other, this would go a lot smoother.
or: Celine realizes too late that she may be in over her head.
