Summary
“Everyone else got what they wanted from the road, Agatha,” Rio said. “They got what they were missing, so the road let them go. But you’re still here. Why?”
Agatha trembled as Rio’s fingernails stroked over her cheeks. A tongue whisked across Rio’s lips, and Agatha’s eyes followed it like it was the north star. Death was creeping up her bones, she could feel it, draining her not of life—but of anger, of fury. Giving her permission to finally let it go.
Her greatest fear had arrived, and it looked like the most beautiful woman she’d ever held.
---
or, Agatha gets what she wants at the end of the road.

Summary
Carol knows about Maria’s little girl before the two of them end up making out in the bathroom of a bar playing Queen over the speakers. Maria keeps a little picture of her in her pocket at all times, treating it with more care than she gives her dog tags or her body. So Carol assumes, in the back of her mind, that this will be a one time thing. It’s not like Maria can bring her home, introduce her to her parents and daughter, spend Christmas eves together and plan family dinners. She’s not cut out for it.
Instead, she’ll savor what she can while it lasts.
