Summary
“The F Line to East Emerald City is now arriving.”
The train wasn’t very full. There were plenty of seats to choose from, and Glinda plopped down in one of her usual spots against the window. She should try and read the book again, but the thought made her cringe. Maybe she should just give up on it entirely.
She crossed her legs. Picked again at the loose thread on her skirt. Adjusted her posture a bit. Then, with nothing else to look at, her eyes wandered to her fellow passengers.
There was the young couple, of course. The mother with the child. A well dressed man with a way-too-big mustache reading the paper. A woman hanging on to what looked like almost a dozen grocery bags, somehow. And then Glinda saw her.
A green woman. Green! Glinda rubbed her eyes just a tad before looking at her again. Yes, she was green.
*
Glinda takes the train home every night, and every night, it's the same. Until a new passenger appears.

Summary
Footsteps moved across the room, before Glinda felt the bed dip. Teary eyes looked up, finding Elphaba perched on the edge of her bed, one hand raised towards her. She could see the uncertainty behind her eyes fading into determination as she rested her palm over a blanket-covered shoulder. “I- I obviously meant a lot to you, if your magic brought you all the way back here to save me. I can’t be anything but grateful to have met you.”
~
When she suddenly finds herself thrown back in time by magic she didn’t know she had, Glinda is determined to save Elphaba from the cruel future she knows is right around the corner. However, the stakes are raised as feelings deepen, and she’d never considered that the future she was trying to fix was a thing of the past, and the one looming ahead might just break her even more.

Summary
“I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.
“I miss you, too.”
After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)

Summary
There was more writing crowding that same page, curling around the drawing as though desperate to squeeze every last inch of space. Murth hesitated. Did she even want to keep reading?
It was all so—so incredibly juvenile.
Lady Glinda, who for a long time had been the most powerful woman in Oz, who conducted herself with the unshakable poise of someone befitting her station, who had gathered supporters all over the world with wit and charm and a mind sharper than steel—all of that reduced to a teenage girl involved in petty university dramas.
And involved with the Wicked Witch of the West!
How come that secret had never been brought to light, even years after Lady Glinda's death?
