    Summary

    Catherine had just turned fifty when she got the letter at her flat. She didn't know what she would have done if it had arrived at Slough House. The "Department of Determinative Service" had scheduled her appointment.

    Her mother would have died of shame if she'd known it would come to this. Fifty and the bond still untriggered. It hadn't been meant to be like that, at least not at first.

    The timer had changed one night in '91. Instead of a steady countdown to a shared future with her soulmate, an infinity symbol had been etched on her skin. Not unheard of, but rare.

    Now she could finally find out what had gone wrong. The process was simple enough. The system granted you six questions, each leading to an alternative reality in which to gather the truth. Hopefully, she wouldn't get sidetracked.

    Summary

    Dana thinks all three of her girls are beautiful, in their own wonderful ways. They were adorable little girls and they've grown into gorgeous women. She's got some pretty damn good genetics to hand out, thank you very much: the three sets of proof are right there. Her oldest Sophie has darker blonde hair than her mother and it has so many gorgeous shades of honey and gold threaded through. Her middle, Caroline (though she became Carrie in college), has Benji's deep blue eyes and Dana's heart-shaped face and it makes her look like a freaking cherub in all her baby pictures. All of her daughters are beautiful and Dana would never rank them against each other, in her love or her affection or her esteem.

    But in terms of individual traits, she thinks the one she likes the most is the one she's never going to acknowledge out loud. That no one ever acknowledges out loud.

    She loves her youngest daughter's nose.

    Dana loves Rosemary's long, sharp, aquiline nose that looks not quite like hers or Benji's.

    Summary

    “How are you?” he asks.

    Dana looks at him. He doesn’t mean fine? hanging in there? surviving? He means the real thing.

    She could tell him the truth. That every condolence card feels like a small fresh violence. That she keeps reaching for her phone to text Benji stupid little things and then remembering.

    Instead, she says, “I’m upright.”

    Robby’s mouth curves. “I noticed.”

    *

    Dana’s husband dies. In the aftermath, there are daughters to raise, shifts to work, and a colleague who refuses to let her fall apart alone.
