    Summary

    Van Palmer doesn’t have much of a plan after college—just a new apartment, a few boxes, and the hope that things will eventually make sense. What he doesn’t expect is his neighbor: Taissa Turner, a sharp and composed lawyer with no time to spare and an 8-year-old son she can’t watch on Fridays. When Taissa offers an absurd amount of money for a few hours of babysitting, Van isn’t exactly confident, but he agrees.

    It’s supposed to be simple. Babysit the kid, take the cash, stay out of the way. But between late nights, lingering glances and the tension that keeps building between them, lines get blurred fast—and suddenly, their arrangement is a lot less simple.

    Summary

    Taissa was only looking out for Van. She was being rightfully concerned this coping mechanism was becoming unhealthy, dangerous. She was being rational.

    She was not, however, jealous.

    Summary

    Tai and Van are hungry, they’ve been horny for long and are just drunk enough to act recklessly about this. Sure, they’re exes, but they’re also two pretty women in need of something only the other can offer.
    Aren't 20-something-year-old people supposed to make mistakes? Isn’t having sex with your ex a must in lesbian relationships? No one can judge them for trying to be normal for once.

    Summary

    Van lets herself say, “I miss you.” On the other end of the line Tai is silent for a minute too long. Van wants to curl up and die.
    But then Tai says, “Come see me next weekend.” And even though next weekend is days away, Van feels the irrational urge to lock up the shop right now and run for the bus to the train station.

    Van goes down to DC to visit Tai at school for a weekend. Turns out they're not done losing things to the wilderness.

    Summary

    “Think 10 years is long enough to look at my face again? I would hate to ruin all this progress you’ve made moving on.”

    “That’s not fair.” Tai says. It’s a lie; Van has every reason to speak to her like this.

    “You’re still a shit liar.” The righteousness in Van’s tone is fucking irritating. “You’re kidding, right? We can’t be friends, Tai.”

    “Why not?” Tai asks, as though she doesn’t know. As though she doesn't absolutely agree.

    There’s a long pause, and Tai can almost picture Van’s clenched jaw, her pinching the bridge of her nose.

    “Because… you’re getting married, Tai.” Van takes a deep breath. “It was meant to be us.”

    or

    Van calls Tai on her wedding day. They both struggle to say goodbye.

    Summary

    The frontal lobe is responsible for all rational thought. Just like the rest of the brain, it doesn’t stop developing until well into a person’s twenties. Your own maturation was impeded by a plane crash and a dire nineteen months in the wilderness.

    Your brain has broken down and rebuilt a reward system for you: one which conflates survival with savagery, which perverts your source of purpose, and which craves Tai.

    Why are you burdening yourself with doubts about wanting this? This was always good.

    You give in.

     

    ...

    Or, Tai and Van can never escape each other's orbit. Not really.

    Summary

    Sworn to Princess Taissa since childhood, Van Palmer was meant to be her shield, her sword, her shadow. Duty demanded distance, yet their bond defied every measure of propriety.

    From a childhood oath sealed with a stolen kiss, to battles fought and won, to nights stolen on the eve of a royal wedding, their lives were bound together by love they could not name aloud.

    Summary

    Their fate was sealed as soon as they came back from the wilderness. No one else would be able to peer inside them like they allowed each other to, no one else would ever earn the right to the whole truth. And they weren’t the same people who left, so really, who could ever truly love them?

    How could they, when they don't understand?

    Let me lick your scars, if they ever closed at all.
