Summary
Something in this space between her and Kris has shifted— an old fracture testing the tension of new bone tissue. It's just seven days. One hundred and sixty-eight hours. Really, that's no time at all, but it hasn’t been just her and Kris since they were children, back before everything went wrong. Since then, there has always been some outlying third factor: Susie, or Dess, or the SOUL, or the distance between them.
They're inches away, hands close enough that she can feel the heat radiating off their skin, and she doesn't know how to close the space.
(or: one week and five dates where noelle tries to define what she and kris are.)

Summary
Kris, contrary to what they like to claim, is very good at being loved.
Susie, comparatively, is not.
(or: love finds its way to the girl— just, maybe not exactly in the way she thought.)

Summary
"'Kris was here' is written in wobbly letters. The words bleed, already dripping into obscurity as the fog clears. Susie snorts. “Isn’t it kinda stupid to mark your territory where it’ll fade away in a few minutes?”
Kris shrugs. “It’s fine, as long as someone saw it.”"

susie's more observant than she lets on

Summary
Kris stretched their elbows to test the risk of bumping against her while moving only to find it instinctive how best to play with someone next to them. The fog in their head stirred, shifting as if affected by the breath of something enormous.
A powerful chord filled the room. Noelle shuddered.
Kris creates an opportunity to visit Noelle alone. She's let a little deeper into their life and wants them to stay longer. Everything escalates.

Summary
“You know I've always wanted to get out of here. I mean, you’re the only one that knows.” There was a half-assed chuckle in her voice, the one that her teachers and mother knew best. Noelle took a deep breath, held it in her lungs like she was scared to let go, and released it with the heave of a kicked dog.
Kris and Noelle go to the festival.
