"Everyone controls how they're perceived, but what happens when that control slips?" Vera Hale is the definition of uncontrolled. Her house never sleeps, her nights blur into one. At the University of South California, it's easy for her to be seen - being understood was the hard part. When an accident occurs, and invitation is given to Vera. An invitation to a world outside of her own, where everything is curated, intentional, and controlled. Caught in a dangerous amount of quiet attention, Vera is forced to explore the space between stability and intensity - and forced to face what happens when someone notices parts of herself she tries to ignore.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
