    Summary

    The moment that rickety, makeshift shuttle-truck skidded to a stop on the landing tier, sending sprays of gravel pinging off the stone walls, all I could think was, Well, asshole, you wanted me to come back. Are you happy?

    Summary

    “So you want to shake off Ianthe and I want to make Corona see me as a legit romantic prospect. I have the perfect plan,” Gideon said, her eyes glowing in the way that told Harrow she was much drunker than she’d been letting on.

    “That’s not a comforting statement coming from you,” Harrow replied, knowing she was definitely not drunk enough for whatever Gideon was about to say.

    “We should pretend to date each other."

    “No,” Harrow said. “Absolutely not.”

    ---
    Harrow agrees to fake-date Gideon and it goes completely smoothly and according to plan.

    Just kidding, it's an absolute disaster of pining and repressed feelings.

    Summary

    You had your body and I had mine, and it was a miracle. Your hands against my face were a miracle. The rest of your meat attached to your hands was a prayer answered and a promise broken, but we were flush and gasping and alive, and Harrow—I really thought you might’ve kissed me then.

    But I felt it happen. The way your breath suddenly stilled, and your body locked up beneath mine, remembering. How with splintering gentleness, you pushed me away.

    “I’m so sorry,” was the second thing you said upon waking.

    The first thing had been my name.

    Stranded in a safehouse on an Edenite moon, Gideon and Harrow try to put themselves back together.
