    Summary

    "Coming!" Qifrey hurried to the door, opening it.

    On the other side stood a stocky, shorter man. He had shaggy black hair, a salt and pepper beard, and wore a short-sleeved flannel over a tank top and jeans with heavy duty combat boots, and a tool belt strapped around his waist. He had inked tattoos on both arms, studded earrings, thick brows and a chiseled jawline.

    Good lord.

    "Hi," Qifrey whispered, finding himself breathless. Oh no, he's hot.

    Qifrey, a single mother of four, combats a heatwave by calling a handyman from Kalhn to get their air conditioner fixed. He really likes their new handyman, and the handyman likes him too.

    Summary

    Agott trusts Olruggio more than she trusts Qifrey, and perhaps that is because Qifrey's longing is occasionally too big to be silent. He imagines that it hangs in the air like a sour smell when he takes her shopping for robes or watches her curtsy neatly to the farmers when they buy freshly milled wheat. It is humiliating and shameful to covet girlhood like this, and every time he catches himself at it, a fear runs through him so sharp that it leaves bruises on his soul – the idea that anyone might see this as perversion is more than enough to keep his nights restless and his calm superficial. Qifrey is convinced that even Olruggio, whose comments over the years have ranged from endearingly naive to knowingly supportive, would be unable to bear witness to these tendencies without misunderstanding the root of the desire.

    Four girlhoods that were not Qifrey's, and the one that was.

    Summary

    “Everything’s alright, Tetia,” he said. The arm holding her steady over the blankets tightened. “We are going to the hospital. You'll be alright.”

    No, you don’t understand, she wanted to say. I am going to die.

    She closed her eyes again instead. The sound of the rain died down, and the song resumed.

    Her first winter at Naakiwan Downs is cold, and Tetia is sick. It makes her remember a song. She is the only one who still does.

    Summary

    OR: six seasons of letters, of lies, and of a few truths that wormed its way in.

    Summary

    "Speaking of ateliers," Tetia said, "it's been ten years since we graduated."

    "Nine," Agott corrected. "Next summer, it will be ten."

    Tetia smiled. "But I might be away then! What do you say to an early reunion? Come on, Agott, it would be fun! When was the last time you saw Master Qifrey and Master Olruggio? We can ask Richeh to come, too!"

    Thirteen years after Coco passed the third test and moved back to stay with her mother, Agott returns to the atelier.
