    Summary

    Edward finds himself longing all the same, gaze lingering on the quick pierce and dive of the needle, the coolness of the blue in Jopson’s eyes.
    It is mechanical, impersonal, a most impressive automaton. Edward’s throat contracts around the flowers blooming in it, the delphiniums and cornflowers and anemones that rise their fluttering faces high and catch Edward’s air. He chokes on the sweetness of their odor.

    Summary

    Irving is getting ahead of himself. Lovemaking comes after kissing, or at least that’s what he believes in his heart. And kissing, of course, comes after dating.

    Irving lowers his cube wall again. "Did you notice if there were any vending machines in O&D?"

    "No," Dylan says shortly, clacking away at his keyboard.

    "No, you didn't notice? Or no, there weren't any?" Irving says.

    "Jesus, Irving, I didn't notice," Dylan says. "Why?"

    Summary

    "Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.

    "Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"

    "What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"
