Summary
It’s been months now. Why is she acting like Luthen’s the first person in the Galaxy who’s ever died? Sometimes a phantom Vel sits beside her in the radio room, holding a fictional cup of tea with the worn-out care that clung to her like sweat on Yavin. Vel doesn’t say You know why. Every loss is different. Every one’s the same. Kleya hears it anyway.
Or, the escape from Coruscant takes a physical toll on Kleya, and her rebellion is forced into a different shape. But even away from the Alliance, she has friends everywhere.

Summary
Kleya has done this calculus herself, more than once, wrapped in shadows and wielding information like a poison-dipped dagger. But it’s startling here, in the shining halls of the Alliance, rubber stamped by the Chancellor.
There’s no fighting it.

Summary
Kleya heard herself laugh into the darkness as the real reason for her insomnia dawned on her. All the horrors and sacrifices she had endured that might keep her awake at night, and here she was, sitting on the edge of her bunk spiralling because of a girl.

Summary
Kleya feels no desire to move. This is exactly where she deserves to be, now that it’s too late. Maybe the most perverse thing about it is that Vel’s quarters have a language, too. She can’t help but start to pick it up.
Or, five times Kleya and Vel care for each other before they confess their feelings, and one time after.

Summary
In her periphery, Vel noticed a shadow shift on the stone floor, movement somewhere behind her. She whipped around and wasn’t quite sure how to react to who was there.
“You’re not on your guard. I could’ve been an assassin,” Kleya said haughtily. She stepped forward on light feet to join Vel at the large window.
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Me removed from your side?”
Kleya scoffed, which was far from a denial. Vel rolled her eyes and ignored the fire that burned in her chest whenever Kleya looked at her with disdain.

Summary
Eloise silently cursed Penelope for convincing her to come back here. Colin had been all ready to go, convinced he could somehow talk Cressida down when they had never even shared a proper conversation before. Eloise made the mistake of commenting that Cressida would never in a million years be reasoned with by a man who could never relate to her, and Penelope looked at her with that twinkle of an idea in her mind.

Summary
"Forget? You want me to forget?" Eloise replied incredulously. "It would've been easier to ask me to forget that I've grown an extra limb!" It was true, Eloise felt like a dog that just discovered its tail for the first time, spinning itself dizzy chasing after it.
or
In which Eloise is desperately, dramatically, and drastically ill-prepared for a revelation concerning one Miss Cressida Cowper.

Summary
“You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”
“But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”
“There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”
At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.
And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.

Summary
Every season sees Cressida spending more time on the wall, watching the dancers with an expression calculated to be the right amount of wistful but never jealous. She stands under the lights at the angle best positioned to draw attention to the gleam of her hair and her jewels and her gown, and she speaks to the young women who will make the best contrast to her, and she watches and she tries to learn.
Women adjusting their gloves and looking up at their dance partners with a smile that seems to run through their whole bodies; women sweeping around the ballroom, shivering almost imperceptibly when their hands meet their partners’; women clustering together on the edges of the room, giggling when the right man approaches them. Cressida’s attention gets caught on these smiles like a necklace on fine netting. The other young ladies tilt their heads, expose the long elegant lines of their necks, flutter fans to draw attention to their chests—all tricks Cressida learned early and learned well—and Cressida can’t look away.
