    Summary

    “Now, I have to tell you… she wore out one painter before you.”

     

    Vi’s brow furrows. “How so?” She can’t keep the question at bay.

     

    Cassandra looks down at her tea. “To put it simply, she refused to pose. He never saw her face.”

     

    Vi sits up a little straighter, concern tightening her muscles.

     

    “Why won’t she be painted, exactly?” The image of the smudged face barrages her, filling her vision with blue and gold.

     

    “She refuses this marriage,” she replies sternly, lines etched along her brow. Cassandra glances up to her own wedding portrait before meeting Vi’s gaze again. “You must paint her without her knowing.”

    Summary

    "There’s often simplicity in the loss of faith.
    Sometimes, it happens as a Big Bang; a gaseous explosion with millions of shattered particles ricocheting into space. A grand exit, the re-parting of the Red Sea, arms outstretched at the mouth of Hell as if to say 'I have overcome this'; as if faith is a territory to be conquered. A leaving, a departure, an act of packing a bag and severing ties.
    Sometimes -- more often than not, Beatrice finds -- the loss of faith is quiet. Without a trained eye, it may even go entirely unnoticed."

    Don't let a witch wrangle you into a deal. She may very well steal your heart.

    Summary

    If things weren’t bad enough with Ava being a very tactile person, who wanted to spend all her time with Beatrice, all while being funny, and kind, and so full of life that it filled Beatrice with awe, Ava also had to be incredibly attractive.

    OR

    5 times that Beatrice thinks that Ava is beautiful, and 1 time Ava makes it clear that she thinks the same about Beatrice.
