    Summary

    Andy left Runway a few months ago. But she could not let go of certain things.

    "Andy felt something in her stomach and realized that if she was going to see Emily alone, she needed a drink or two to be able to survive. But being completely realistic, there were big chances that she would be murdered by Emily. If not physically, she did have the ability to wield her words as a knife."

    Summary

    In a ruined world overrun by the relentless machines known as ARC, humanity has retreated deep underground to a refuge called Speranza.

    Jimin and Aeri are raiders, risktakers who brave the surface to scavenge, barter, and survive by any means necessary. Raiders have a reputation: cocky, reckless, self-serving, and willing to take whatever they want.

    Minjeong and Yizhuo, citizens of Speranza, despise raiders and everything they represent. To them, raiders bring trouble, drama, and danger.

    But when their lives collide, the four soon learn that in a dying world, nothing is as simple as hero or villain. Are Jimin and Aeri just like the rest of the raiders, or will they prove they're something more?

    Summary

    Sympathetic resonance is a phenomenon in which a string initially at rest responds to external vibrations that are harmonically similar to its own without direct physical contact. It’s always made sense to Francesca that when she holds down a key on the piano, those with frequencies alike echo and the sound waves continue to ring in the wooden body after the original note has faded away. It’s physics, it’s music theory, it’s perfectly comprehensible.
    At least, it had been all of that until she started noticing the sensation within her, the amplified waves crashing through every nerve in reaction to another person. A stranger. Her husband’s cousin. A woman.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry that I didn’t want abandonment to be the first thing that John’s son knew about you,” Francesca says irritably.

    “Is it abandonment if I didn’t even know that John had a son?” Michaela wonders, draining half her wine in one go. Francesca has never been good at reading Michaela, but she doesn’t have to be to see that there is a decade's worth of deep-seated resentment simmering low. And she was never one to mince words, so her next accusation is entrenched in bitterness. “I can’t believe you never told me about him.”

    Francesca's nose twitches. “Well, maybe you shouldn’t have left me before I had a chance to.”
