Summary
“You said it was bad,” Lena managed to hoarsely respond after a beat too long.
Nodding, Lillian stared up at the ceiling for a moment, her throat bobbing as her lips twisted wryly. “I’m dying. Stage four pancreatic cancer.”
“How long do you have?”
“A month, maybe two.”
“Oh.”

Returning home for the first time in twelve years to the news that her mother is dying, the last thing that Lena wants is to run into the childhood best friend she hasn't spoken to since she left Midvale all those years ago. Especially when said friend was the reason Lena swore she'd never go back home again.
Still harbouring the sting of teenage love and rejection, as well as the pressure of her unsatisfying career and resentment towards her mother, Lena's life is brought to a halt in her hometown as she's forced to confront years of repressed feelings and the truth about what she really wants out of life while waiting for her mother to die.

Summary
Beatrice left the Cat’s Cradle ten days after Ava disappeared. She wasn’t angry—just broken in a way that couldn’t stay. For a year, she tried to live the life Ava asked of her: studying, surviving, learning how to breathe without her.
Now, she returns quietly for the holidays. No announcement. No expectations. Just a need to see the people who once held her together.
But when she arrives, something’s wrong. The air is too still. The silences too full.
And when Ava walks onto the training field—alive, changed, and already home—Beatrice realizes the truth:
She wasn’t just grieving Ava’s death.
She was grieving her place in Ava’s world.Bookmarked by jlssharmen
