There was nothing left but the smallest, simplest, quietest, purest essence of things. An indrawn breath. A glitter of steel. A stab of pain. A drop of blood.

Summary
Valencia follows Roxane Gay on Twitter. She’s read the op-eds Rebecca shares on Facebook. She knows about things like internalised misogyny and Catholic guilt and compulsory heterosexuality—kind of. She knows she should be burning her bra and smashing glass ceilings and rejecting the idea of modern matrimony for all its pandering to patriarchal narratives, or something. It’s just that she knows them in an absent, overwhelming kind of way that is so confusingly disconnected from everything she longs for as not some discourse in twelve point font on a page but a living, breathing person that wants things with every fibre of her being and contains multitudes.
After a major life upheaval, Valencia seeks out Paula.
