    Summary

    “It wants more from us, Shauna,” Lottie explains, still smiling. Shauna is beautiful like this, fearful and stubborn and still just a little angry. That anger has been with Shauna for a long, dreadful time, and will never leave her—it's comforting, familiar.

     

    or, shauna visits lottie, after the wilderness. neither of them know this is the last time either of them will see each other for nearly twenty-five years.

    Summary

    So winter goes on like that, dull and stuffy and claustrophobic. The apartment is small, their tempers smaller. It's no surprise when one of them finally loses it, finally brings it up.

    "This isn't working," Nat says one day, early spring, and Travis feels his heart plummet to his ass, before Nat turns to look him dead in the eye and says, "Let's take a vacation."

    Travis blinks. "Yeah, alright."

     

    or, travis and natalie, post rescue, falling back in love... at the beach!

    Summary

    "Thanks for being more entertaining than counterpoint."

     

    Mari laughs. "Low bar."

     

    They walk in opposite directions without saying goodbye. Nat heads back to her dorm, and she can hear Mari's footsteps going the other way until they fade out completely.

     

    She's not sure what it was about tonight—maybe just having someone else there who was also having a shitty time—but the walk back doesn't feel as empty as usual.

    Five times Natalie Scatorccio knows less about Mari Ibarra than she wants to, and one time she does.

    Summary

    "Why let me go? I could... I could come back. Take more."

     

    Mari shrugs carelessly. "If you're stupid enough to come back," she bluntly answers, "I'd rather deal with you myself than let the help handle it. They are not nearly as interesting as I am."

     

    She doesn't wait for a response. The French doors close behind her with a soft click, and the night swallows the sound whole.

    It’s after midnight, and someone is picking through Mari’s drawers.

    "Come back later if you actually want a real prize."

    It's not like she'll see either of them again.

    Or, Nat sees more than she bargained for on her smoke break.
