Summary
She doesn’t hear Villanelle getting in to her own bed across the hotel room, wonders briefly if she’ll sleep at all. She considers for a moment that Villanelle might disappear somewhere into the night like a half-feral cat, spend the night prowling alleys and yowling into the dark before slinking back through the hotel window when dawn comes. Instead, she hears the soft shuffle of feet on carpet, and knows that the other woman is still standing in the space between their beds.
“Eve” Villanelle whispers into the dark.
“Are you going to invite me to get into your bed?”

Summary
It is like this. Difficult. Flashes of wanting will come at Eve from the back of her mind, creeping in from the sides like an ambush. It seems as though Villanelle is still the same, painful and spoiled and rude in all the ways she was before. She is not like Eve, who feels so different now, feels like she is carrying a secret like a lead weight.
And so Eve is most of the way to drunk when Villanelle shows up on the wet doorstep of her home.
Sequel to 'Virtues Uncounted' but can be read as a stand alone.

Summary
It is 8:00am. It feels wrong, slightly insane that Villanelle could still exist here in the daylight hours of a normal Friday, with a routine and a paper delivery and an 8:00am.
“I have a weak constitution, Eve” Villanelle sniffs, “someone stabbed me once. They came into my home and took one of my knives. I almost died.”
And so she stays.
