Summary
A heavy sigh.
Almost sounds like defeat but they both know better.
Carla doesn’t give up easily, she gets what she wants and right now (well all the time really if she’s honest) she wants her tiny, stubborn blonde detective to give her attention, cure her boredom.
Put the bloody book down.
The book that is currently her competition in this little game.
Pfft as if the book stands a chance.
She’s Carla bloody Connor.

Summary
“Doesn’t your husband do most of the work?” Carla asks, eyes widening as soon as she realises what she’s said. She scrambles immediately. “Sorry. I meant… Well. Not that women can’t— Oh god. I’m making it worse, aren’t I?”
“Carla, it’s fine… But there’s no husband. The farm’s mine. I do have a couple of staff who help me out though.”
“Wow… Must be hard work,” Carla says, blowing out a breath.
“Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman?”

Summary
"So we could all do our duty! We could all be strong. Be together!”
Rumi is begging.
Rumi is begging and Mira had wanted to be just that, be together, up until five minutes ago – her and Zoey had talked about it in detail, how both of their heart were beating for two people, how easy it had been to fall in love with their leader, how they wanted to try and be more, once they had restored the Golden Honmoon.
But Rumi lied to them.
And Mira finds she doesn’t want her anymore, not right now.
(She doesn’t know, not yet, what she will lose. Destiny laughs into her ears and it is the sound of someone gone mad.)
(They find her in the dirt by the tree, cold and pale and covered in blood.)
– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
(or: Celine does as Rumi begs her to. Grabs the sword and puts down the feral dog kneeling at her feet. There really isn't much more to say.)

Summary
Lisa already knew what to expect. Or rather, who to expect… Carla Connor had been transferred from Humberside Police, and while Lisa hadn’t heard much about her directly, the whispers from colleagues had been enough to form an opinion. Despite the glowing reviews and action-packed stories she’d been told, she wasn’t exactly optimistic about the new arrival.
Or
Carla and Lisa are both detectives, forced to work together despite being polar opposites. Chaos (among other stuff) ensues.

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.
Or
Lisa ends things seemingly for good after Rob takes them hostage and Betsy is shot. It turns Carla’s life upside down and sends her on a journey of self-exploration as she’s forced to confront the relationships that mean the most to her and the ways Lisa has changed her for good. But it's never over til it's over...

Summary
'Huh', Sloane thinks. 'Riley Bennett.'
It wouldn't be the first woman Sloane Caldwell had ever had a "huh" thought about. She'd had a few "experimental" moments in college, and of course there was that time Eric and she were entertaining the idea of a threesome in some desperate attempt to save their marriage. But of course, nothing ever came of those things. It wasn't something that even crossed her mind frequently. But in this moment, watching Riley walk away, her scent lingering in the space between them now, she hesitated to admit that she felt something stir.

Summary
It’s the weekend of Harper and Abby’s wedding, and this event has everything: ostentatious displays of New England wealth; bridal party brunches; themed cocktails; canapés; moonlit swims in the nude; exquisite torture; cold pizza; gas station popsicles; a copy of Machiavelli’s “The Prince”; a bruise on Sloane Caldwell’s shoulder that matches the dental records of one Riley Bennett.
