Summary
Jon’s eyes are fixed on the floor at her feet. To a stranger it might look like respect, the proper deference shown to a queen, but Sansa knows better. If he wished to look at her, he would.
He has not forgiven me, she thinks, her heart a stone in her chest. He likely never will.

She remembers the heat in his voice as he’d refused the pardon. As he’d demanded punishment for what he’d done. Tyrion isn’t the only one in love with his own guilt, she thinks, combing unsteady fingers through her well-brushed hair. And I am too perfect a redemption to resist.

Bookmarker's Notes
She was seized with sudden fear that she wasn't capable of that, that it had been trained out of her. Her problem, she acknowledged, was that by the deliberate design of the Guild, she had no idea what a man who wasn't a client might expect. She felt bereft of the structure she'd spent her formative years learning... learning so well, indeed, she hardly knew who she might be without it.

Quite suddenly, it strikes Michael that after an entire life spent constantly running from one thing or another, it might be the hardest thing in the world to just *stop*. Even though for the past few years it’s all he’s really wanted, now that he’s here he’s not sure what to do, what to think.

“I can’t give you what you want, what you need,” she murmurs and saying it out loud hurts, almost takes her breath away, “I’m scared.”
“Aye, I am too,” he answers easily, quickly, and their eyes connect again in the mirror, “Sansa, I’m just as lost as you are. And you do give me what I want, what I need… just by being you.”

“You should be so lucky,” Pree said, and winked at Gared from across the room. Gared fumbled a crate and nearly dropped it on his feet.

Michael shifts uncomfortably. "I'm cultured," he insists, looking between both Sam and Barry. "For instance, the 2000 election? Here in Florida, there were hanging chads and—" Off their pained expressions, he switches tactics, having to dig deeper. "What about...?" He brightens. "J-Lo! She's still considered popular, right?"

Summary
“Two hours, now.”
“Hmm?” Debora hums around a piece of over easy egg that’s been sprinkled with salt.
“It’s already been two hours,” Miles repeats as his shoulder presses against her own and his thumb runs rings around the porcelain coffee cup holding his fourth refill.
“Since you’ve been back,” Debora finishes, to which he leans heavily against her side and only the small jut of his head let’s her know he’s nodding in return.

(Debora and Baby reunite and maybe hit a few bumps in the road as they try to find their way to moving on. At least this time, they're not doing it alone)

Still Cuthbert, mostly, and when he turns to look full at Roland there’s a hole where one of his eyes should be. The broken-off end of an arrow. But there’s a glint behind the arrow—a glint of gold, like there’s more in the socket than smashed eyeball and splinters of bone. “Ka like a wheel, that’s us. And the wheel doesn’t stop turning.”
