    Summary

    Far out in the ocean, where the waters are clear, and cold, and blue as the sapphires we mine from under the earth, it is very, very deep.

    A story about being alive.

    Summary

    “I don’t know that animals converse the way we do,” says Marianne. She looks at Claude’s image in the mirror: at the places where his own hair falls into his face, at the familiar angle of his bent neck, edged in lamplight. “But if they live around each other long enough, they start to be able to understand each other. The meaning of the sounds they make, and their movements… It’s a different sort of language, I suppose.”

    Marianne makes herself at home.

    Summary

    She looks like something out of one of his stories. No, she looks like she has a good story or two of her own to tell, this Marianne; sweet-voiced and steady-eyed, everything and nothing at all like he remembers.

    He’s sure it must be the mirror of his own expression he sees in her face a beat later, when her gaze comes up to meet his—naked surprise, then recognition. A flicker of doubt. Recognition again.

    In which Claude and Marianne arrive at the same place by different roads.

    Summary

    The old adage about silent waters running deep? That’s Marianne. Claude knows that better than anyone. He’s learned a little about how deep those waters go.
