Summary
It’s casual, she says, and Trinity agrees, because she’s never asked for what she’s wanted, and she’s not going to start now.
Garcia leaves again and again and again, and Trinity thought drowning was something you leave behind in childhood, but some nights, she still can’t breathe.

Summary
“The easiest way to clean you up, besides keeping you away from the club, for the love of God—” Trinity opens her mouth to argue, but Samira just holds up a hand and shakes her head, “—is to give you a love interest. And people love a co-star romance. They’re hot right now and we think if it seems like you and Yolanda are dating—especially with Yolanda being as serious and respected as she is, we can have much more support for you before you even start filming.”
Trinity nods, processing the words for a moment before they actually begin to settle within her. “Wait—you want us to date?”
Trinity Santos, longtime film actress stuck just below the level of true awards acclaim due to a bad reputation for never shutting her mouth and never leaving the club before dawn, finds herself signing onto a PR relationship with the goal of cleaning up her image. Of course, this fake relationship is with none other than Academy Award winning actress—and her future co-star—Yolanda Garcia.

Summary
After her father’s sudden death, Trinity returns to her childhood home in Boulder, Colorado; a place of manicured lawns, suppressed trauma, and the conservative family she has long kept at arm’s length. Yolanda accompanies but only after agreeing to Trinity's terms that they pose as friends, forcing their long-term relationship to become a secret. What begins as a brief trip to organize a funeral stretches into an indefinite stay when Trinity’s brothers guilt her into staying behind to care for their mother. As the days turn into weeks, Yolanda remains at Trinity’s side, but their relationship begins to feel the effects of being tucked away for too long. As Trinity's ghosts from Boulder grow increasingly relentless, she and Yolanda must confront whether their relationship can survive the turbulence, or if they should have abandoned ship long ago.
or
Trinity brings Yolanda to her childhood home with the requirement that they hide their relationship from her conservative family. The ramifications of that choice quickly make themselves clear as their relationship is challenged.
It's "Happiest Season" but in the summer, with a death in the family, a (somewhat) healthier relationship, and no Aubrey Plaza.

Summary
Baran cocked her head marginally. Her gaze bounced across Santos’ face, the shadow of a smile playing at her lips, trying to read what she saw on there. She could never quite understand which side of the line between sincerity and sarcasm Santos was on at any given time, and had made a small game of trying to work out which. For example here, the slightly raised left eyebrow along with the dry tone was enough to lead to the conclusion that this interaction was not entirely free of scorn. Baran decided she could live with that.

Summary
Al-Hashimi laughed again, almost mockingly. The mean lilt of it was so far removed from the emotionless, hyper-professional image Santos had built of Al-Hashimi in her mind that it stunned her into silence.
"I'm afraid you may have misplaced your faith," Al-Hashimi bit back.
In a rundown diner at five o'clock in the morning on July 5th, Santos loses one hero and finds another.
