Summary
Beatrice stood a little taller, squaring her shoulders. “We skiff.”
“That’s hot.”
Though she didn’t laugh, Beatrice’s body relaxed, just a little. “It’s quite cold actually, especially in open waters.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“I know it wasn’t, I was just ignoring you.” She gave Ava a small smile. “What about you, Miss America? Unless you’re the bouncy patriot who accidentally stumbled into Olympic hopeful territory?”
Ava stood as tall as she could, not expecting to have to show off that particular night. “I am bouncy, and hopeful, but definitely not by accident.” She stuck her hand out, because she felt this draw to touch Beatrice again. “Ava Silva, defender for USA Women’s Soccer.”
She took Ava’s hand tightly, a single eyebrow raised. “You’re a defender?”

Summary

But not tonight. Tonight, it was theirs. She knew it was theirs."

Summary
Beatrice can't, for the life of her, figure out why her best friend keeps choosing her whenever she needs someone to kiss for something as ridiculous as a dare or a practice make-out session or a fucking mistletoe. Because surely there are enough other people out there who would willingly kiss Ava without having a complete meltdown and nearly dying of a heart attack each time.
Five times Ava finds excuses to kiss Beatrice and one time she finally comes clean, because Beatrice can't take a fucking hint.

Summary
“Well, what you need is somebody who’s extremely lovable.”
Beatrice scoffs. “Yeah? And who’s going to agree–”
“You know who.” Camila raises both of her eyebrows in smug anticipation.
“No,” Beatrice says firmly. “No. I am not asking Ava to fake-date me.”

Summary
Finally, in the distance Ava sees what JC was talking about.
The first one is tall with cheekbones that look like they could cut glass, her long hair done in a braid. The next woman is small, with a bright smile and curls on top of her head. The next is all muscle, tattoos, and braids sticking out of a cowboy hat.
Then standing slightly off to the side is Cowboy Hat 2 with just as many muscles as Cowboy Hat 1 but no tattoos, and she looks almost shy. The first three are waving as the bus rolls to a stop and Cowboy Hat 1 nudges Cowboy Hat 2 who sheepishly waves, and oh, Ava is struck with needing to know everything about that.

Summary
Everyone knows how the story goes. Beatrice once told her that the Judgment of Solomon wasn't a story of motherly love but of sacrifice, and as she pushed her through the portal, Ava knew those were the words were repeating themselves in her mind.
And so the story goes, and, pulled away from the woman she loves, Ava goes through the portal. Again. And again. And again.
Instead of waking up in Reya’s realm like she had expected, Ava wakes up in another woman’s body. Another Ava’s body.
She’ll do anything to get back to her Beatrice. Including jumping through different versions of herself and crossing that cursed portal a thousand times if she must, learning about love, devotion, sacrifice, and everything that could have been. -

Summary
coda (n.): in music, a passage that brings a piece (or a movement) to an end
Ava Silva has everything she’s ever wanted. Her dream job designing lights for the Royal Ballet. An apartment bigger than a shoebox. A city to explore full of sexy accents and taxis that are all (yes, ALL) equipped with ramps.
Beatrice Young has everything she’s ever wanted. A coveted spot as one of the youngest ever principal dancers at the Royal Ballet. The role of a lifetime. A routine that makes it so that she never has to worry about what happens next.
It’s funny how quickly things change.

Summary
“If it helps make you feel any better,” Mary says, face stoic. “You won't have to make conversations with Ava if she turns out to be an insufferable and snobbish heiress brat. Just do your job and stay in her shadows.”
“I’m sure Ava isn't a brat. She looks so sweet.” Camila defends, gesturing at the portrait of Beatrice's bed partner still pulled up on the LED screen. Like Beatrice can come close to forgetting how that sweet face has scrunched up in primal pleasure as she rode Beatrice’s fingers and tongue for hours on end.
Jesus Christ she needs to get a grip right fucking now.
“Alright. I’ll do it.”
or
As Agent Galahad of the Kingsman, Beatrice has on multiple occasions encountered and overcome the impossible. Being the private bodyguard of Ava Silva, whom she fucked senseless and left without a word, promises to be more challenging than anything’s ever thrown her way.
Beatrice just hopes Ava won’t get the wrong idea. After all, she is married to her work. There is no room for romance in her life (or is there).

Summary
"Am I allowed to test the verity of your words?" With the question, Ava moved to stand in the middle of the kitchen and bowed like a host about to introduce a magic act.
In hindsight, her challenge was nothing but a display of delusion, for Ava had never charmed a betrothed woman or man. Her game mostly worked against anarchistic minds like her own, who, in the first place, would never fall prey to holy matrimony. Nonetheless, in her reverie, all possibilities, especially that of buckling under her brother’s wife, outdid Ava’s ability to give a shit.
Michael just stared, thoughts scintillating behind his eyes, a look that Ava recognized from her teenage years, particularly when he would catch her doing something he had not asked.
//
Due to multiple volcanic eruptions, a wedding that she had missed, and a massive scandal, Ava spends a portion of The Year Without a Summer in Switzerland, getting to know her brother's wife

Summary
Every day, exactly fifteen minutes past five, Beatrice takes the train home from work. So does a woman – beaming smile and soft eyes – who saves her a seat by telling everyone she's her girlfriend.
Beatrice had not gone along with it if she hadn't been so worn out from the day. Or maybe it was just that damn smile…
