    Summary

    “Re-start the count.”

    “You sure?” Fatin checked, watching her like this was a fundamentally important question. Like it was a confession.

    Leah shifted to look out the window of the cabin, peering into the dark, impenetrable forest that surrounded them, the fire in the hearth the only light source for what must have been hundreds of miles.

    A single beacon in an abyss.

    “I’m sure. Re-start the count.”

    Summary

    Beautiful is too small of a word to describe what the garden has grown to be. Heaven too unreachable. Because Beatrice can touch these flowers and plants and trees and fruits, she can hold this place that she and Ava have tilled and sowed within her hands.

    It is sanctity made tangible.

    And every day, new flowers bloom.

    And every day, Beatrice believes in magic a little bit more.

    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

    “They hired us to try and fix this, Lilith. To see what we can do to streamline patient care, help with funding and prevent them from having to sell and disband - so that’s what we’re going to try and do.”

    She stops, just before they enter the hospital, giving Lilith a hard look to let her know she’s still the boss.

    Thankfully, Lilith understands and at the end of the day, she brings Lilith with her because she’s very good at what she does. “Then let’s go get started.” They make their way inside, “you just know this Dr. Silva is going to be a kook though. She probably wears wicker shoes or treats broken bones with laughter or some shit.”
