    Summary

    “Say it again,” Vi all but begs. Her fingers dig into Caitlyn’s wrist and hip where she holds her close like she’ll float away in the ripples the wind makes in the grass, like the tide, like she isn’t Caitlyn’s anchor. Like she isn’t the only thing keeping Caitlyn afloat.

    “Qīn’ài de. Oh, qīn’ài de. My dearest.”

    Vi kisses her under the sunshine, the first time she’s felt it in years, and Caitlyn kisses back. Wind rustles through the trees, birds are singing, Caitlyn’s mom is dead, and she kisses Vi in the backyard she grew up in like she’s wanted to from the moment those bars between them slid open and Inmate 516 had a name again, a future again.

    “Again,” Vi breathes. Their noses brush.

    Caitlyn says it into her mouth as if Vi swallowing will keep it in her forever. “Qīn’ài de.”

    (Or, it’s not just language. There's knowing and then there's understanding.)

    Summary

    “People say sorry a lot when you lose someone,” she offers, tugging at the knot of her tie. “Fucking sucks.”

    A bad start, but it’s what comes first, when Vi thinks of her parents and Vander and the others. Death. It happens to someone else, and everyone acts like it happened to you.

    “I wish they’d just shut up,” Caitlyn says. “All of them.”

    ----------

    Reeling in the wake of her mother's death, Caitlyn navigates a new kind of darkness. Vi, impossibly guilty, keeps pulling her out of it, which isn't easy when you have a darkness of your own to contend with. Grief is loud. Fortunately, so is love.
