Summary
“You’re here,” Mary spits. She’s too dehydrated for tears—face peeling, lips cracked—but her voice grates like a rusty saw against bone. “You were dead, and you’re here. I was dead, and I’m here. Tell me why she wouldn’t fucking be here!”
Lilith says nothing. Lilith can’t say anything that Mary doesn’t already know.
Lilith can only stare at her, expression bludgeoned and splintered. They used to be three; then they were four; then they were five; now they are two. Shannon is gone.

Summary
They slow as they turn into the parking lot for an apartment building Arasha assumes is Angela’s. She hasn’t been over since she moved. She actually doesn’t remember if she’s ever been to Angela’s apartment for a one-on-one hangout before, even at the old place—she’s maybe never hung out with Angela one-on-one outside of work, period. Did Angela think this through? Will she regret this in twenty minutes and Arasha will have to figure out the signals on the fly? What’s she thinking?
Shifting to park, Angela looks over at her. “Are people who are allergic to nuts allergic to pine cones?”

Summary
“All good?” Mel asked, tentative.
“Yep.” Trinity did not lift her forehead from the tabletop.
“Oh, cool. Because you, um, look really thrilled.”
That made Trinity roll her head to the side, her temple pressed to the corner of the mousepad, which let her peer at Mel. Her cheek squished in a way that was oddly cute. “Oh, yeah?”

Summary
“I know it’s too late, because there’s nothing we can explain, but her parents don’t want her to see her sister, so I thought… If it were us. I would– I couldn’t handle it if–” A muscle in Mel’s jaw jumped. “I thought maybe she could say goodbye?”
Swallowed tears burned the back of Heather’s throat. Her belly twisted. She rolled her lips between her teeth, trying to find words. “I think so, too.”

Summary
“So, can I ask—what inspired the change?” Helen took the mixture of developer and bleach and began to apply it.
“Honestly?”
“’Course.”
“If one more person told me how much I looked like my mother, I was going to go full Sylvia Plath and find myself the nearest oven.”

Summary
Michael's tone is light enough but there’s a tension in his shoulders, in the corners of his mouth. “I think Astrid wants to get together everyone involved in this…”
“Clusterfuck?” Annika offers.
“…family,” Michael finishes. He tilts his head. “But your suggestion works too.”

Summary
“It’s weird, not having Robby here,” Mel is saying, dragging Samira back into the conversation between the residents. “And Dr Al-Hashimi hasn't shown up either.” That is strange, Samira thinks absently. Dr Bryan is back from semi-retirement to cover as attending, but the absence is noticeable. “I'm sure we can figure out how to be good teachers, but it’s a little harder when you don't have your mentor to help."
“I don’t know,” Samira mutters before she can stop herself, still staring at Dr Abbot’s letter on her screen. “Just do the opposite of whatever Robby would do.”
It’s only in the expanding silence afterward that Samira realizes she has said that it out loud.
In the wreckage left after the 4th of July shift, Samira starts gathering the shattered pieces of her life. The question now is in what order does she want to put them together.

Summary
"This isn't middle school," Garcia says, eyes flashing. It feels like middle school, all of a sudden - Trinity tongue tied in some institutional stairwell, someone else making her feel small and incompetent. "Langdon made a mistake and owned up to it. Let it go."
Because that's what you're meant to do, when people make a mistake. You forgive them. You move on. They get a second chance. (Or a third, or a tenth, or a hundredth - )
Trinity has just never understood why some people get to come back from mistakes and other people don't.
