    Summary

    You should really wake her.
    No let her sleep it off
    Wake her up, let her sleep
    Beatrice rolled onto her back and looked up at the surfboards above her hanging within the van.
    Ava was in a deep sleep and she could be there for hours. Was Beatrice really going to just lie here with her? She smiled at this thought.
    Would that be so bad?
    Yes, well no, but you need to get up and go for a surf.
    Beatrice knew she needed to familiarise herself with the beach and the waves. More time surfing the break would help her in the contest.
    “Please don’t tell me you’ve kidnapped me?” Beatrice’s stomached dipped at the raspy voice and she quickly shook herself out of her thoughts, forcing her head towards the voice, finding brown, but also very bloodshot eyes looking back at her.
    No but I wouldn’t mind tying you up.

    Summary

    “The church was… the only path before me, at the time, and I never questioned it," Beatrice admits.

    “And now?” he asks, looking concerned, and Bea realizes she’s curled into herself against the counter. She didn’t even notice how small she’d become. He offers her the sugar. She takes it.

    “Now, I think differently,” Beatrice says, rising to her full height, rolling her shoulders back. Now, the future is an open road, and she’s got her hands at ten and two and her foot on the gas.

    Now, she sees how wrong it was: to be pushed into giving up her life as if it would mean she would no longer ache to live it, as if that could ever be possible. Now, she is learning how to choose herself. Sometimes when you’ve suffered a whole lot, it’s hard to stop, but she’s trying. She takes a sip of her tea, savoring the sweetness on her tongue.

    “What about God?”

    “What about Him?” Beatrice answers, trying to sound sure of herself. “I'm– I'm fairly confident that He still loves me.”

    (Or, post-canon Beatrice, learning how to love herself while she waits for Ava to come back.)

    Summary

    Beatrice is finishing putting the recycling out into alleyway when she hears it: a sniffle, muffled. It pulls instantly at her heart, the way it’s been stifled and choked down; as if trying to hide - one’s tears, one’s self.

    Summary

    Beatrice and Lilith had been pretending to be men for over five years now and that had worked out well so far. They are the owners of England’s most prestigious newspaper and well respected among people.

    Ava had moved from New York to London and it's the beginning of her third social season by the end of which she must find a husband. Ava isn't eager about the idea of marriage, but she doesn't have a choice if she wants to secure a good future for herself.

    What sort of surprises await for Ava among London's high society?

    Summary

    There are no gentle rebirths.

    Every sequence of Beatrice is an absorbing force for Ava and her worries. Time always passes differently in her presence. Slow. Relenting. Even black holes provide comfort, keeping the light safe inside. A lighthouse. Both shelter and warning. Their weight an anchor in an otherwise hostile environment.

    And there is something else there—a diffracted similarity to Beatrice. A suggestion that they’re both different from everyone else. Like pieces of the same whole. Two fragments of the same rock, humming with identical resonance.
