Summary
“Can I help you?” the woman says, clearly irritated.
“Um,” Carol says, her voice coming out an octave higher than intended. She clears her throat. “Are you my Airbnb host?”
“Am I your— what, no. What?”
“It’s just… I have booked this house. On Airbnb.”
“I think you have the wrong house.”
“Isn’t this the house?” Carol says, putting her phone straight to the woman’s face.
“I can’t tell. You’d have to unlock your phone.”Bookmarked by Ps_Nightingale

Summary
Zosia sits up, trying to process her surroundings. There's something authentic in the way Zosia looks at her, eyes widening. But it fizzles away, and Zosia is back to being a confused and afraid woman on the floor of Carol's living room.
"We won't hurt you," Carol promises, wishing she knew at least a lick of Polish. "Can you understand me?"
Zosia grabs at her head, massaging her scalp, before she nods.
"Are you still a part of them? Are you just Zosia now?" Carol asks. She needs it to be a yes, for her dirty soul.
Zosia rises to her feet, knees weak from a lack of use. The other two follow her.
"So it was you who took this feeling from me?" Zosia asks. Carol nods. Zosia grumbles, not hiding her volume.
Carol doesn't know why she thought it would be better after Zosia woke.

Summary
“Hello again, Carol,” the woman says, and sits.
Carol suddenly has no idea what to do with her hands, and just says hello back. Like a robot, or someone who has only just learned what the word hello means in English.
“Sorry, did no one tell you I would be here? I must have looked so strange to you walking in like this.”
That must have been what Val was saying last night. The book cover model was coming to the reading. The book cover model has been tasked with doing the big speech Raban has in the middle of the book, and Val wanted to run it by Carol first. The book cover model is a woman and they’ve been putting her in Raban drag to shoot the covers rather than getting another man to do it. Goddamnit. She has to start paying attention during Val’s fucking phone calls.--
While on a book tour she wishes was over, recently divorced romantasy author Carol Sturka meets the also recently divorced Zosia Smith. The inevitable happens.
