    Summary

    On the first page, in Vel’s slanted hand, are the words:
    For Kleya.
    I know you don’t make much of birthdays. I know you’d rather I didn’t either. But I wanted to give you something that was yours. I wanted to give you the truth, as much of it as I’m brave enough to write down.

    Summary

    Kleya feels no desire to move. This is exactly where she deserves to be, now that it’s too late. Maybe the most perverse thing about it is that Vel’s quarters have a language, too. She can’t help but start to pick it up.

    Or, five times Kleya and Vel care for each other before they confess their feelings, and one time after.

    Summary

    Peacetime, it turned out, didn’t come easily to either of them.

    Kleya didn’t sleep well without the pressure of necessity. Back then, in the fight, she’d had no choice but to sleep when she could. Now, the luxury of safety came with the burden of it, too.

    Or, Vel wakes in the middle of the night to find Kleya's half of the bed empty.
