Summary
"You are pretty interesting, Beatrice. And I can't figure you out for the life of me, which says a lot, 'cause that's sorta my job."
Beatrice shrugged. She should have been alarmed, trying her best to shake off whatever Ava was trying to find out, but she just...didn't. That alone should have set the bells ringing in her head.
She never felt this comfortable around strangers. Something about Ava's earnest curiosity was making her feel warm inside. She felt seen. Not as a warrior. Not as a nun. Not as anything. Just as her. Beatrice. A human being.
"I am just a nun."
Ava's smile was knowing though. Her voice grew impossibly lighter, "No one is ever just something. Don't sell yourself short."
or,
The Library au, in which life keeps bringing a nun and a bartender together.
