    Summary

    It’s the weekend of Harper and Abby’s wedding, and this event has everything: ostentatious displays of New England wealth; bridal party brunches; themed cocktails; canapés; moonlit swims in the nude; exquisite torture; cold pizza; gas station popsicles; a copy of Machiavelli’s “The Prince”; a bruise on Sloane Caldwell’s shoulder that matches the dental records of one Riley Bennett.

    Summary

    “They hired us to try and fix this, Lilith. To see what we can do to streamline patient care, help with funding and prevent them from having to sell and disband - so that’s what we’re going to try and do.”

    She stops, just before they enter the hospital, giving Lilith a hard look to let her know she’s still the boss.

    Thankfully, Lilith understands and at the end of the day, she brings Lilith with her because she’s very good at what she does. “Then let’s go get started.” They make their way inside, “you just know this Dr. Silva is going to be a kook though. She probably wears wicker shoes or treats broken bones with laughter or some shit.”

    Summary

    “Some people think a soulmate is the person God creates for you. Others say it’s the soul yours has been drawn to time and time again, throughout multiple lives. Some even believe that each pair was formed during the creation of the universe itself.” Beatrice looks up at the sky, as though she might find an answer somewhere in the long dead stars hanging above them. “I’ve always liked that one, actually; that the particles ripped into being alongside each other formed a connection that would last as long as our universe did. I’m not sure it makes much sense in practice. But it sounds lovely.”

    “Less cruel, at least,” Ava murmurs, and Beatrice turns at the sadness in her voice, drawing in a sharp breath when she sees the emotion so amplified in Ava’s eyes. “Because a god who created the whole soulmates thing in the first place, told you that you don’t get one, and then made you spend your entire life telling other people about theirs kind of sounds like a huge asshole, if you think about it.”

    Which is, of course, why Beatrice so often tries not to think about it. Especially when Ava is looking at her the way she is now and she’s reminded of all the things she’ll never have (all the things she desperately wants).
