    Summary

    “I mean, are you just not into me? ‘Cause you can just say it. I’m not that thin-skinned.”

    Carol is staring back, totally blank. Her lips have fallen just slightly open — those perky pink lips that press together when she hears something funny, that tug sideways when she’s embarrassed, the lips Helen’s watched sipping glasses of wine for months now and has never been allowed to touch.

    Summary

    “Do you ever want to change your body?” Max asked her, folding her own arms over Esther’s.

    “How do you mean?” Esther asked.

    “I mean…” Max sighed in frustration. She didn’t have the words. “Sometimes I wish I could just flatten myself, you know? Be more…man-shaped,” Max said. She turned to face Esther and crinkled her face.

    “If you want some advice, I think you can call your Uncle Bert,” Esther said gently. “He’s done more than you might want to, but he might be able to point you in the right direction.”

    Summary

    She’d said, “We have the rest of our lives to do all of this,” which sounded very poetic and romantic in the moment, and she’d even meant it at the time.

    But apparently a week was enough of a fucking lifetime because if Greta didn’t get to see what Carson Shaw was keeping in their pants she was going to fucking melt into the floor.

    Summary

    With impossibly short cutoff denim shorts on impossibly long legs, a white cotton oxford tied at her nipped in waist and lips defined in a bold matte red, she oozed classic beauty.

    And Carson was, well, a perpetually chain grease covered bike shop mechanic in a random graphic tee she threw on in the morning without thinking.

    The woman grinned, captured her bottom lip in her teeth, “Heard this was the hottest joint in town for a gal to buy a bike.”

    ——

    Summary

    When Greta’s voice streams through the church, breaking Carson out of her trance, she realizes she does know what it’s like to worship. To devote oneself to a higher cause, a purpose beyond the personal. Haloed by every prismatic hue where she stands in front of stained glass, a silhouette of sin and scripture all at once, Greta is holy in this moment, she is the God that Carson understands. The theology of Greta is one that Carson gets.

    Carson is not godless any longer with Greta beside her. Greta is her refuge, her asylum, the only sanctuary Carson knows for sure. Greta’s body is her church and Carson is always ready to bow at the steps.

    (Or, a retelling of their first time in the convent. An (absolutely smutty) study of Carson, Greta, and religion.)

    Summary

    In a worn envelope in her purse are the mementos she has from the season – address cards for each of the Peaches, phone numbers scribbled on napkins, the game card Greta kissed, a handful of photos, newspaper clippings, a ticket stub. She looks at them at night sometimes, spreads them all out on her beige bedspread and conjures the season back in muted color and vivid feeling. Sometimes, she thinks about what it felt like to win a game and know the world belonged to them, if only for a moment. Sometimes, she thinks about what it was like to hold Greta’s hand, before the world fell apart.

    It’s two weeks before Carson realizes she’s been living half-awake this whole time. If you were going to moon this much, you should have just followed her to New York. Yes, Carson should have followed Greta to New York. But she didn’t. She stayed, instead.

    or: carson travels in the off season, finds a little of herself, and makes her way home to greta.

    “I don’t know whether to congratulate you or offer my condolences,” said Greta.
