    Summary

    “I guess Celine never made a big deal out of my birthday, so I thought that was normal. Also, the anniversary of my mom's passing was, like, a week after, so she was always kinda…” she trails off, letting the silence speak for her.

    “Sad,” Zoey finishes. Rumi nods in agreement.

    “Okay, point is, we are celebrating the shit out of your birthday this year,” Zoey points to Rumi for effect, determined. “We have twenty-three years of birthdays to make up for before you hit twenty-four.”
    --
    After learning that Rumi is not as apathetic about her birthday as she's always led them to believe, Zoey plans a celebration for every birthday Rumi missed, enlisting Celine as an unlikely ally from afar.

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    Zoey starts to move and Rumi, familiar with how she telegraphs her movements, knows she’s seconds away from lunging at Mira's father. Mira grasps her wrist like a lifeline.

    “Please don’t,” she murmurs. Zoey stands down as he exits the room. “I just want to get through the next day so I can never talk to any of these assholes again.”

    Rumi and Zoey share a look over Mira’s head, the thirst for vengeance crackling in the air between them. This is not over.
    ---
    At her grandmother's wake, Mira learns that her family intends to withhold the only heirloom she cares about - a book of recipes her grandmother promised her. Zoey and Rumi plot their revenge in secret while trying to support Mira and avoid a confrontation with her family.

    Summary

    In the back of Rumi’s closet, there is a box. It’s old, the corners worn and the color faded. Inside, there are letters. Dozens of them. Each one is small, with a name written on the front in careful letters.

    ---
    Rumi always thought the Golden Honmoon would kill her. Sometimes she still wishes it had.
