He’s older, and he owns his own business, and she’s pretty sure he’s rich-rich. And she’s fifteen, sort of awkward, with dirt on her knees from watering the tomatoes that morning, and she’s got a Physics test in the morning she’s pretty sure she’ll fail.

Summary
“That’s Medusa,” Aphrodite says, nodding over at the pair. “Apparently they met online."
“She looks--nice,” Nike says.
“It’s just a fling.” The smile she gives her is soft and nice, like always, but it’s a little pitying, too. “You’ll always come first to her.”
“It’s not like that,” Nike says, automatic, because it isn’t. It’s never been. She’s sure some part of her is in love with Athena, and always will be, but in the same way she’s in love with sprinting barefoot through wet grass, or staring at the stars from her rooftop, or caramel-apple-spiced scones.

Summary
Yia Yia would tuck Daphne’s blankets up to her chin, and tell her old stories about ocean women, who came out of the water and wore skins that weren’t theirs, and had scales down their legs and gills like a fish. Women with teeth sharp like fangs, that could bite through bone like toothpicks.
"I want to be like them," Daphne told her. "Tell me how to do it."
"You have to swim," Yia Yia said. "Faster and harder and longer than you’ve ever swum before. You have to swim until you can’t move any further, until you can’t see the shore. Swim to the middle of the ocean, and then they’ll find you, and you’ll never have to leave the water again."
It’s been years since those childhood stories, but Daphne still dreams about drowning. But in her dreams, she never drowns to die. She drowns to be reborn.
