Summary
Oh.
Love tastes like lemon drops and the iron of blood, smells like fresh laundry, soap, and the sweet undertones of argan lotion, sounds like a low, level voice and a marked British accent, love is earthy tones and navy and the texture of linen. Love, Ava discovered, feels like home.
Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
Or what it feels to go from strangers to tentative friends, to being friends, to suddenly realizing that you can't live without this person.

Summary
'i think, in my heart, i renounced my vows a while ago.' you don’t know how to say you stopped praying to god and started praying to the nape of ava’s neck in the middle of the night, lavender bar soap and laundry detergent, her skin smooth above the scar of the halo, before she would laugh and turn around and shove your hip until you rolled over with a groan, for show, and then hold you tight.'

Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.
or
the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”

Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.
