    Summary

    Unbound for a second, Beatrice lifts her hand back up. There’s no dirt, no excuse, but she palms Ava’s face again, just to feel it, just for that special close lipped smile that graces Ava’s face again, just for her to sigh.

    She removes it quickly—not quickly enough, too quickly—catching Ava’s eyes when they open again.

    “Now,” Beatrice says, voice soft and serious. “Let’s try again.”

    Ava nods, the halo glows, her feet leave the ground, and she doubles her time.

    Beatrice realizes that her touch helps Ava with her training, and, well, things escalate.

    Summary

    “You’re too pretty to be a nun,” she—the patient, the charming patient, Ava Silva, 19, no family, paralyzed from the neck down—tells Beatrice when she walks into the room.

    Beatrice doesn't know what to say to that. She doesn’t spend much time looking at herself except to smooth out her hair, to make sure there are no stray pieces of lint on her shirt. She definitely hasn’t thought about the word pretty in relation to herself.

    “I’m not,” she tells Ava directly.

    “Not pretty or not a nun?"

    Summary

    “I need you to give me a hickey,” Ava says, a little out of breath like she’s just run across campus to deliver this incredibly important mission.

    “I…” Beatrice starts, brain going unfortunately muddled. “I beg your pardon?”

    ---

    or: the three (3) times Beatrice gave Ava a hickey and the one (1) time Ava returned the favor

    Summary

    Beatrice reaches out and taps Ava’s notebook. “Finish your work.”

    ”Yes, ma’am.” Ava tries to sand the words down with humor, smooth them into an insignificant bump in their usual conversation, but her voice is too throaty, even to her own ears.

    She feels Beatrice’s eyes linger on her for long, long afterwards.

    Ava hires Beatrice as her tutor. Things go swimmingly.
