Summary
Ava is sitting by the window, eating goldfish crackers by the handful as she commentates on some drama happening down on the street, when Beatrice feels that tell-tale tightening in her chest and she - she knows.
She’s fallen enough times to know. She’s fallen hundreds, thousands of times by now - onto padded mats and concrete, off of buildings and into busy streets - but those have only been with her body, pressed and hardened and molded into service and discipline through pain and withholding. The number of times her heart has fallen is but a tiniest fraction of that of her body, not for lack of trying, not for lack of love - not because she lacks anything at all.
or: Beatrice, learning how to fall

Summary
"As a child, Beatrice would convince herself that the magic of her birthday would make it all happy: her parents would celebrate it with her and smile and sing her the song and watch her blow on her candles. Sometimes, in her most delusional moments, she would believe that they would play with her, or read her a story, or laugh and tell her silly things about when she was a baby, and she would go to sleep with a happy smile on her face.
The human brain is a cruel thing, and even though she knew it would never happen, she couldn't help but hope and pray for it. The best birthday she had ever had was when they completely forgot about it, and she spent the day alone in the house, sitting on the stairs and waiting for her parents to come home and hoping it was actually a surprise. It never was. "
Or: Beatrice hates birthdays. Ava helps her through it. There's a six year old and a dog thrown in the middle of it too.
In this house, we heal.- Language:

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.
