Date
"Here on the board are Potato Ice Cream and Oyster Sorbet, various fruit and nut flavours, even one titled Smurf Ice Cream. She has to ask Lily what’s that about."
Questions of Damnation
"So she read scripture after scripture, flipped page after page, compared all the translations she could find. All to make sure the feeling which has taken roots in the deepest parts of her brittle soul did not condemn it to the fate of everlasting torment."
The Trial
"Her black curls messy and her skin, which used to turn this delightful shade of pink under Rita's touches, now looks muddy and ashen. Do you really love him that much? Rita wonders. Enough to throw your life away completely?"
Awkward Conversations or I Wanna Date Your Girlfriend
"Lily tries to listen intently and commit everything to the memory, but only thing she seems to be able to memorise is the way Sybill’s eyes shines when meeting hers or how she talks so fast she almost runs out of air. The way her curls bounce in her low ponytail as she moves her entire body while speaking about this thing she loves. And maybe, just maybe, Lily is slightly in love too."
even upside down it's beautiful somehow
"I write this letter to you in secret, hiding even from my sisters, which I never do. This feeling is too fragile to share with anyone else but you. In this moment of bravery I feel like my heart would burst if I kept it hidden any longer, stashing it away as some sort of precious potion ingredient."
you still love me anyway
"When she's back in her room, Lily feels the void surrounding her. She feels hollow, like her heart was carved out to make space for something she's never going to get. That feeling only gets stronger when she sees a piece of orange amber on her nightstand."
A Quiet Life
"Emmeline's favourite part of their interior is probably a pair of dolls in the living room. They look like miniature copies of the two of them. Emmeline thinks they look cute. At the same time, they also mark the space as something that belongs to them, only them."
Marked yours forever
"She moves into sitting position and carefully slides down her dressing robe with shaky fingers, exposing the flesh on her right thigh. Immediately she feels Rita fingers tracing the mark. To the naked eye it looks like a simple scar."
at the altar of your skin
"Lily groans again and mutters come colorful atrocities, but otherwise remains still. Charity gets comfortable on the chair, ready to draw. She starts by slowly sketching the shape of Lily's body, pencil following her curves, defining the lines. Every now and then she teases Lily - look at you being such a good model to me, baby; think you can stay still for another hour, baby? you're so gorgeous when you're panting like that."
Summer Survivors
"Narcissa doesn’t want to be here. She has a plan - pretend she's gotten better and then she's going to be released early. However, she struggles with the plan. Mostly because she's lacking energy to do absolutely anything. But also - her meds are making her mind all foggy. Question, what was the question? Pay attention."
