    Summary

    Mira has worked at Sunlight Scoops for upwards of two months now, and if someone put a gun to her head and told her to name three things about Rumi, she could maybe give them two:

    1. Rumi worked at Sunlight Scoops
    2. Rumi was absolute shit at small talk

    (Zoey and Mira get jobs at an ice cream parlor and cannot figure out why their manager can't talk to them.)

    Summary

    Their voices are too low for me to hear in the echoing church, so I watch their bodies instead: Mamma pacing, then turning to confront my father with a low hiss as he follows her at too close a distance. I can't even remember their divorce, let alone their marriage, but I can see how they once might have fit together. The way they circle each other is like dancing—not dancing like when Mario puts on a record in the living room and whirls Mamma about, both of them laughing, but more like each already can guess how the other is about to step.

    Very loosely inspired by the infamous 2004 Latvian National Opera production, in which Tosca and Scarpia once were married to each other, and Scarpia clearly regrets the divorce. Only taken a step further, because this imagines that Tosca and Scarpia have a kid from their ill-advised marriage.
