Summary
The gathered crowd gasps when the butt of the gun cracks her skull, hard.
Something - someone - catches her before she hits the cobblestones. It’s Max, she can tell, because she’s suddenly boiling and she knows he runs as hot as an iron furnace.

Summary
David notices the window box, the evening after she’s discharged from the hospital: mostly wheelchair bound, tired, picking half-heartedly at her food.
The stone trough outside her kitchen window is something she herself has never noticed before, much less tried to do anything with. She imagines the Victorian architect added the feature to the windows on her building to encourage some green thumbs in its residents, and probably hadn’t banked on it being occupied by a workaholic politician who notably once managed to kill the cactus on her windowsill in her student halls of residence.
Her thumbs are the pastiest white.

Summary
“You can take me out to dinner first,” she decides. “Then... we’ll see. Least that way I can be sure you’ve eaten today.”
“When?
“Tonight. Meet me here at eight.”
She doesn’t pose it as a question anymore, and he’s glad. If it was a question, he could change his mind about this, talk himself out of what he really wants like he always does. She’s telling him, and he’d follow any order if she’s the one giving it.

Summary
It doesn’t feel like he has much of a right to buying flowers, or to even being here today. PPOs don’t get invited to the funerals of their Principals for good reasons.
Not least that it being her funeral means he failed quite spectacularly as her PPO.

Summary
Étienne is at a sleepover: they dropped him off together and came back for a decaf coffee and fancy Waitrose biscuits, which turned into wine, which turned into — well. Áine pressed up against the cupboard by the kettle, Richard’s stupid posh tap digging in her back.

Summary
It's a sin. If the Church finds out, there will be no St. Aquinas, no rehabilitation or concern. They’ll excommunicate him so fast his head will spin.

Summary
As it should be; their first coupling takes place with water and earth pulsing against them, meeting and joining and stirring beneath their soaked bodies. It is fated, because the soil needs rain to grow, because the bull needs a moon maiden to weaken and strengthen his resolve, because he wants her and that is enough.
Life itself manifests at the point where he ends and she begins, and so the will of the universe; the stars and sun and the planets above, will let him have her.
Dani/Pelle, post-Midsommar
