Summary
Sharp intakes of breath shake Oksana’s shoulders as Eve moves over the tender, ruined skin at her hip and lower abdomen.
“I’m sorry, baby. I know it hurts.” Eve soothes. That word - baby - how strange it is, coming from her own mouth. She’s fairly certain she’s never called anyone this before. And now she assigns it to a killer. A brutal, beautiful, monstrous thing.
A small sound from Oksana’s mouth in answer. A sorry tilt to her mouth. A whispered question, “Can you say it again?”
So Eve does, “Sorry, baby.” She brushes a lock of Oksana’s hair aside, brings her lips to the woman’s temple. An inhale from Oksana drags in her throat and becomes something else.
A monster. Its definition: A fleetingly soft, unraveling woman with a lost child crouched, unhealed, inside.
-or-
An ending that doesn't make me angry.

Summary
“I was told I would be able to meet with the chef this afternoon,” Beatrice says, as politely as she can manage. She’s meant to start working tomorrow and she hasn’t even met the executive chef yet, outside of traded emails where she was swayed by the promise of full autonomy into leaving her position as pastry chef at one of the only restaurants in the city with three Michelin stars for a fledgling fusion tapas joint sandwiched between a pierogi stand and a vape shop on the lower east side that got an upstart Michelin star in its first year of operation.

Summary
“Your…” Mira trails off, uncharacteristically stumbling over her words, “…shoulders.”
Rumi blinks, “My shoulders?”
“They’re…” What was with Mira today? It was like she couldn’t even complete a sentence when she was often so witty. In fact, being chill was her whole persona. Right now, she was being the complete opposite! “…out.” Rumi can’t help but allow an amused smile break out across her features, a small snicker escaping her lips as well.
OR: The six times Rumi cannot figure out for the life of her why Mira and Zoey are so obsessed with her demon marks and the one time she does.
