Summary
Dana, fifteen years older than her and aware of it in ways Cassie often forgets to be. Dana waking up one day, realizing her body no longer responds the way it used to. Noticing recovery times and fatigue and desire changing shape.
Dana swallows once before speaking again.
“You make me feel…” She stops, frustrated immediately. “Christ.”
Cassie waits her out.
“You make me feel young in a way I haven’t felt in 20 years,” Dana says finally, quieter now. “And then my body doesn’t cooperate with that and it’s…” She shakes her head once. “Humiliating isn’t the right word. But it’s goddamn frustrating.”
Or, the one in which Dana is suddenly insatiable and Cassie tries to understand why.

Summary
“Then what?”
"Then one day, I met your mom." The smile that appears on Dana's face is impossible to miss. "You know, I didn't really think about myself all that much." The words settle quietly between them. "I think a lot of people from my generation were like that. And because of that, I spent a lot of years making things harder than they needed to be."
The firelight flickers across her features, warm gold and shadow.
"But falling in love with your mom?"
Her eyes find Cassie's.
"That's the easiest thing I've ever done."
Or, four seasons where three people get to know each other, ending in the best season of all: Pride.

Summary
Cassie has this awful fleeting image of her lying there, stunned not by the pain itself but by the realization that getting back up was going to take a kind of effort she just didn’t know she had anymore.
The thought hurts. More than Cassie expects it to.
Because Dana should never have had to absorb that moment alone.
Because someone should have protected her.
Because it suddenly feels obscene that people like Dana spend decades holding emergency departments together with sheer will and sacrifice only to eventually become vulnerable inside the exact systems they’ve carried for years.
Cassie wishes, fiercely and irrationally, that she could take the fear out of her entirely.
Or: in the weeks after the assault, Cassie wonders if Dana will truly come back. If there's no other way to be certain, she guesses she'll just have to start checking in on her herself.
