Summary
"You're the most important thing in your mam's life, you know that."
Betsy looks away a little shyly, cheeks tinging red. For just a moment, she looks exactly like the little kid she loves pretending she's not -- bashful, her face tucked into her own shoulder, preening at just the thought. Carla feels weightless watching her, like she could reach out and feel her own heartbeat thudding in Betsy's pulse if she were only to press her fingers against her wrist.
"And, you know. You're climbing pretty high up in the ranks for me an’ all,” she finds herself admitting, even though she tries not to, wary of showing too much of herself to Betsy in case she takes it the wrong way. It's worth the smile she gets in return, though, toothy and just a little bit embarrassed, half-obscured by the hood of her jumper.

Summary
She’s itching with the need to get up, to yank out all of the wires tethering her to this tiny little room, to run — run back home and scoop the two of them into her arms, to hold Lisa and never let her go, to watch them sleep and listen to them breathe and to just be there.
The distance between them hurts like a physical ache, like someone’s reached down her throat and is squeezing at her heart with their bare hands. Bile rises in her throat at the thought of them, at the thought of Betsy, so convinced she’s all grown up one minute and then violently wrenched back to reality the next, cradled in her mum’s arms and crying herself to sleep, facing a kind of heartbreak Carla can’t even imagine going through at sixteen.

Summary
Sure, this whole thing is one long blast from the fucking past, right? Case in point: the first glimpse Shauna catches of that flash of honey-colored hair from across the bar is enough to have her heart in her throat, although it isn’t like she wasn’t perfectly prepared for this moment. Her mom had warned her: ten months is fucking nothing.

Summary
Jackie is... perfect. She’s everything these girls are looking for and more, everything they probably imagined when they were talking about which girls they wanted in their houses last year. She wouldn’t be surprised to find out there was some kind of bidding war for her, to hear that everyone wanted a piece of her, wanted to elevate their own image by using her as part of it. Jackie is...
Everything that’s wrong with this kind of institution.
And, most importantly, she’s Shauna’s ticket out of this hellhole, and back to where she really belongs, up in Rhode Island like she’s dreamt of for so long.

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.
Or
Lisa ends things seemingly for good after Rob takes them hostage and Betsy is shot. It turns Carla’s life upside down and sends her on a journey of self-exploration as she’s forced to confront the relationships that mean the most to her and the ways Lisa has changed her for good. But it's never over til it's over...

Summary
"Uh. Boss. Do you want to talk about--?"
"I don't really think that's necessary."
"Oh." He looked away, like he didn't know how to take that, and she kicked herself for being overly cryptic.
"I mean, I'm not sure if it's a good time for it. For me. Let's table it. For now."
"The discussion or the whole kissing and feelings thing?"
"Both, I suppose."
"Hm. Put a pin in it? Come back round to it later?"
"Exactly."**
