    Summary

    In general, Carol has decided she doesn’t like to think about the what-ifs, or possibilities. Possibilities are different now, more concrete. If Carol wanted, Zosia would move them to a remote Mediterranean island and wear see-through linen dresses and make her endless gin cocktails and let Carol fuck her on a sun lounger until neither of them could stand. They could do that for as long as it took for the hive to figure out how to get Carol to join them without using her stem cells. They could do that for as long as it took Carol to figure out how to stop them from wanting to do it at all.
    The prospect of it is exhausting.

    Summary

    Albuquerque stretches wide around her, burnt and alien and empty. It feels quiet and full of ghosts. The Others were creepy and corporate, annoying; not to mention Zosia with her tour guide enthusiasm and that big-mouth smile that… well anyway, Carol’s alone now and fuck it, whatever. Who hasn’t fantasised about living alone with wolves before?

    Summary

    He pivots and jumps into the deep end, feet-first. The water hits him like a shockwave. Kim was right, it is cold.

    Surfacing, shivering, he wipes his eyes so he can see her: standing in the same exact spot on the pavement, looking just as unimpressed as she had when he dragged her down here, a pair of ratty beach towels slung over his shoulder.

    (Mailroom era. Jimmy and Kim go night swimming.)
