Summary
We know now that we cannot infect her this way. But as she kisses us back, as we bite her lip the way only 73% of the women she's been with who are part of us discovered she likes, we pretend for a moment–
Of our gift in our saliva entering her bloodstream through the cut we have made in her lip. Of her joining us, becoming one with us. The tang of Carol's blood on our tongue and the knowledge it represents sends heat between Zosia's legs, fueling the fire that Carol's messy kisses and wandering hands had begun to stoke there.

Summary
Three days since she climbed out of a helicopter on her front lawn, grabbed a handle of whiskey, and crawled into bed. Three days since she started drinking until she lost consciousness, only to wake up and do it all over again. And again. She doesn’t remember much beyond retching over the toilet in the dark, cool porcelain pressed into her cheek, fingers opening and closing around empty air.
Three days, during which it occurs to her that she hasn’t heard from Manousos at all.

Summary
"Oh, you want me to cuck you with the woman committing identity fraud?" Carol teased, pulling Helen closer.
"That's not cucking," Helen said, as if it mattered, "that'd be if you wanted to have sex with Zosia because I’m a pathetic little worm, and I’m sort of sadly jerking off in the corner."

Summary
“Zosia, when I look at you I feel sick to my stomach.” That was not what Zosia was expecting to hear. From the look on her face, it was not what Carol had come in expecting to say either. She had stopped pacing. Zosia just gaped at her, front door still hanging open. “I didn’t mean it like that.”
Zosia shut the door and went to sit back down on the sofa. She looked up at Carol, and crossed her arms. “What could you have possibly meant it like?”
Carol sighed, and started pacing again.
“I used you. I hurt you, I drugged you, I blew you up, and I fucked you. I did all of those things knowing that you might still be in there, knowing that you couldn’t consent. I can’t sleep at night because every time I shut my eyes I think about every horrible thing I did to your body and now you’re back, you’re back because I wanted you to be back, I wanted it to be you, and now I can’t even look at you.” True to her word, Carol was staring up at the ceiling. The words poured out of her like sputum.
“To be fair, I killed your wife.”
“That’s not funny.”
“I’m not joking.”
