Ironically, it is at a chess tournament that she starts to see color.

Summary
And maybe family isn’t forever either, perhaps you can’t put a temporal dimension to it, can’t measure it by a chess clock or even a calendar year. But maybe not being alone isn’t a permanent state either. Perhaps there are people that come into your life when you need it, and are there when you need it.

“Night shifts require stamina, flexibility, commitment and the ability to pace yourself just right,” Hilton tells Beth. He frowns. “It’s sexier when Benny does the spiel.”
“Is it,” Cleo says drily.

Summary
“José Capablanca was a prodigy and lived his life handed to him on a silver platter, eschewed books and formal study for food and women and booze. They say the coroner put his ego as the cause of death. Alekhine played obsessively for years and years, became World Champion and then the alcoholic that showed up to every game drunk. His dead body was found hunched over a chess board. At least Beth isn’t like them.”
“Harry?”
“Yeah?”
“Shut up.”

Summary
Tally hasn’t thought much about the future in a long time, maybe never, not past the pretty operation and being happy and light forever, which hasn’t been anything close to her reality in such a long time anyway. It’s not like specials are made for the long term. But the few times that Tally has thought about it, scraped enough of herself together to wonder what the next years might be like, Shay is always there.
