    Summary

    “I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”

    Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”

    “I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”

    Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.

    “Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.

    After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.
