Summary
It’s not like it’s your fault, she’d told Moran, that day she ran into him in that pub in Dublin, light-years away from St. Kilda’s. It would have happened anyway. It was already happening when Chris Harper was still alive, and if it hadn’t been him, it would have been something else.

Summary
Later, after it was all over, Rhaenyra found that she remembered very little about the day of her mother’s funeral. She couldn’t recall conversations, the names and faces of the strangers and near-strangers who came to pay their respects, or even what she had done or where she had gone once the pyre stopped burning. When she tried to close her eyes and conjure up the last moment she ever saw her mother, all that came to her were other images, other feelings: the way the cold wind whipped her tear-streaked face; the distance her father placed between himself and everyone around him; Daemon’s low voice in her ear; and, most vividly of all, the weight of Otto Hightower’s hand on her shoulder, grasping her quickly but firmly as he walked past her and back toward his children.
It was strange. He had never touched her before. He had never paid any real attention to her at all. She had seen his probing gaze directed at her father, at her uncle, at Alicent, but never at her. And yet that day he chose to acknowledge her, and she was so grateful to be acknowledged at all that she never thought to ask him why.

Summary
“—and she’s being pretty fucking incommunicative at the moment, and I don’t know what to do about it. And then I thought to myself, who knows more about choosing not to communicate than you?”
Daemon wipes the sleep from his eyes and squints at the clock on his nightstand. It is an embarrassingly late hour to just be waking up, and if he knows that if he says anything with more syllables than the hello? he mumbled when he first answered the phone, his voice will crack and give him away. Normally, he wouldn’t care—he’s a grown man and can sleep or not sleep whenever he wants—but all of the ways that he normally feels about things go flying straight out the window whenever his niece is involved. He sits up in bed and clears his throat. “I answered your call,” he says. “That’s communicating."

Summary
She’d gone over the positions in her head many times. Sometimes she’d even daydream about it, her eyes glazing over mid-conversation, as she thought about the quickly multiplying possibilities. Her girl friends would snap a finger over her face, tease her lightly but she remained resolutely mute. What was she supposed to say? That she got off on thinking about beating her husband?
