    Summary

    Beatrice has been very good with keeping her distance and maintaining boundaries and it's fine. Honestly, it's fine.
    Until Ava books a weekend getaway. In the middle of the woods. During a blizzard.

    Summary

    Beatrice is standing stiffly across the room. She rolls her shoulders, rolls her head on her neck, stares down at her hands. An unfamiliar smile slides across her face-- and Ava knows all of Beatrice’s smiles now, knows the polite nun smile and the customer service smile from the bar and the friendly smile for Hans and the small genuine one for Camila and the careful genuine one for when Ava makes her laugh and the less careful open one when Ava surprises her with coffee on the rare days she wakes up first-- and Ava’s stomach twists.

    Summary

    To Ava, nothing had ever been so confusing, so gorgeous, so heartbreaking as the discovery of her own body. And then there was her discovery of Beatrice’s.

    Or,

    Ava accidentally sees Beatrice naked. It makes the whole "sharing a one bedroom apartment in Switzerland" thing a little more complicated than it was before. A comedy of errors in three acts.

    Summary

    And Beatrice is not good; she is not holy; she is not worthy of her vows. She is taking advantage of Ava’s good nature, of her warmth, of her need for physical intimacy. She knows that she is. She knows that when Ava reaches for her in the dark it isn’t because she’s reaching for Beatrice so much as she’s reaching for someone. A body. Any body would suffice. Beatrice’s body, with its racing heart and its trembling fingers, with its weak-kneed sensibilities and inability to say no, just happens to be near.

    And Beatrice is not good; she is not holy; because she does not stop it from happening. She leans into it. She draws Ava into herself, she breathes in the scent of Ava’s shampoo, she revels in the warmth of her skin beneath her clothes, in the perfect way Ava’s soft curves seem to meld against her own hardness. Beatrice is all sharp edges. She is stern, she is steel.

    She is weak, for Ava and everything about her.
