Summary
Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
[...]
“Well, then? Do you need something?”
Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
“Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”or
a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.

Summary
She still loved Carol, after the unjoining. She loved her in exactly the same way. Her feelings hadn't changed from one moment to the next, from when she was joined to when she was unjoined. Why would they? She was still the same person.
The problem wasn't that Zosia didn't love Carol. The problem was that Carol didn't love Zosia. She didn't know Zosia. She had neither fallen in love with the Zosia of before nor the Zosia of afterward, she had fallen in love with the Zosia of during. She had fallen in love with them. And Zosia wasn’t them anymore.

Summary
There’s something different in the way that Zosia looks at her now. Carol’s stopped moving, and she clings to Zosia’s shoulders with a vice grip as she spirals into her all-consuming stare.
There’s a gnawing hunger in Zosia’s gaze, so desperate that Carol herself can almost feel the sharp bite of its teeth ripping into her own flesh.

“Helen knew how… scared you were. She didn’t want to spook you, which is why she waited. She loved you after knowing you for only a few months, but knew if she took that step forward, you would…”
“But I didn’t,” Carol said. “I didn’t run.”
“No,” Zosia said quietly. “You didn’t.”

Summary
Breakup sex had never really been Carol’s style. She liked a clean cut, a scalpel’s edge, mostly because she was the one doing the breaking and her exes had never been that interested in trying to fight for her. So maybe her lack of experience in that arena was why she found herself intertwined with Zosia not even an hour after the illusion had been shattered.
Carol is bad at breakups. Time to save the (girl) world about it.

Summary
"Like we're aware you just got goosebumps."
Distantly, Carol knows something is amiss. But Zosia’s lips just ghosted against her own and the tug inside of Carol was like the end of a bungee jump—a jerk towards something inevitable. She stares at Zosia, who hovers only inches away, making that same face she always makes, landing somewhere between hesitance, asking, and… Was that want?
