    Summary

    Just when Deborah—a nun long accustomed to silence and solitude—believed she had made peace with her life of quiet devotion, Ava appeared. A young woman adrift in the aftermath of her parents' death, Ava carries a need she doesn’t fully understand—only that it aches. Drawn to the monastery in search of something more than comfort, she awakens in Deborah a forgotten part of herself, questions, desires, and a quiet yearning buried long ago beneath faith and grief. But life—gentle and unpredictable—often leads us where we least expect, and what begins as an act of help slowly becomes a journey neither of them could have foreseen.

    Summary

    "She needed me, but she would never let me know it. And I wanted to be there, but at some point, I ran out of good reasons to stay."

    "Did you love her?"

    Ava expects that question. And she has thought about it for what feels like a lifetime. She's listened to every fucking therapy podcast, read every self-help book (ok fine, half-listened to the audiobooks), tried desperately to wrap herself around her own mind to answer this question, among many.

     

    Deb & Ava meet after months apart and Ava reflects on what it means to move on (or not).

    Summary

    Miranda's mother invites Andy to spend Christmas with her and Miranda in England and Andrea can't help but agree.
    Turns out, the only reason for said invitation is that the Priestly Matriarch lives under the assumption Andrea is Miranda's girlfriend. And Andy doesn't have the heart to correct that assumption. So, her and Miranda come to an agreement. What Andy hadn't considered, however, is the fact that this carefully forged plan between her and her boss might just shred her heart to pieces completely.

    Summary

    “Hey, Sachs. You hear about the latest mishegas your ex-girlfriend has gotten herself caught up in?”

    Ah. That ex-girlfriend. The not-girlfriend ex-girlfriend. Whom she’d very rashly and stupidly kissed exactly once even though the look in Miranda’s eyes had quickly gone from startled to aroused and she’d fled to avoid complicating their relationship further, slept with perhaps the worst man in existence, taken very high praise very badly in a fit of erroneous righteousness, and abandoned her at the worst possible time.

    Or; Miranda’s in a little bit of hot water, and Andy might be just the colander she needs.
