    Summary

    The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.

    She frowns.

    The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.

    Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?

    Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

    Summary

    Ava aches everywhere, all the time, not from being hit but from being beaten down, from the constant battering of her own heart against her rib cage. Ache is not the word to use for what she feels, seeing Beatrice on the other side of the bar, huddled close with another woman, their smiles too light and bodies too close for the interaction to be anything other than flirtatious. Ache is not the word. This is more like madness.

    Summary

    This time it takes a lot longer to get a response back, but Ava can wait him out. “Speak, child.”

    Ava grins from ear to ear, then forces herself to reign it in. “Yes I uh…I have to confess an act of gluttony.” She drops her head, really pushing the shame into her tone. “Two days ago I took a visit to the city with Sister Lilith and a small boy offered me a candy bar, a Twix. Are you familiar?”

    “Yes, sister, I am.” He sounds so annoyed, Ava has to bite the inside of her cheek not to giggle.

    “Right of course, you are a man of many travels and, most likely, many many candy bars.”
