They were each other’s person, each other’s place. Their names might as well have been one name- Koraandnova-so seldom were they spoken separately, and when they were, they sounded incomplete, like one half of a mussel shell, cracked open and ripped in two.

It wasn’t much, letters in the place of a mother-and they only had the memory of the letters now, since Skoyë had thrown them in the fire “by accident”-but they had each other too.

Someone loves us, their faces said, when they stared down Skoyë, or refused to cringe before their father. Well, those five words were like heated stones that never lost their warmth or bruised your flesh, and Kora and Nova carried them everywhere.
