   Summary

   She could probably count on two hands the number of times she’d smoked in her adult life, despite Helen’s unwavering commitment to habit. It endeared Carol in the way that she’d managed to romanticize the rest of Helen’s quirks after decades together but it never felt like it was for her, a remnant from a rebellious childhood she didn’t want to re-summon, a molotov cocktail of superstition and religious guilt that had never quite left her. Helen had her vices, and so did she.

   Carol picks up a new habit during the gap, which sparks a few memories she'd rather forget.
