    Maggie Silber-Lin knows that eating is a normal part of human life. There's nothing inherently shameful about it. It's just hard, sometimes, to make a living writing about food, when it's such a sensitive topic, even inside her own head. But everyone has to - well. Survive.

    Summary

    Byleth followed the other woman's gaze down to her dusty riding leathers, patched and mended so many times that there was probably nothing of the original left.
