Summary
Abruptly, she becomes aware of how close they are. Of the way Jack’s arm is almost touching hers, of the way his gaze has softened into something less clinical.
“You’re staring,” Dana said.
“So are you.”
*
Neither of them meant for this to happen. That doesn’t change what it becomes.

Summary
Dana thinks all three of her girls are beautiful, in their own wonderful ways. They were adorable little girls and they've grown into gorgeous women. She's got some pretty damn good genetics to hand out, thank you very much: the three sets of proof are right there. Her oldest Sophie has darker blonde hair than her mother and it has so many gorgeous shades of honey and gold threaded through. Her middle, Caroline (though she became Carrie in college), has Benji's deep blue eyes and Dana's heart-shaped face and it makes her look like a freaking cherub in all her baby pictures. All of her daughters are beautiful and Dana would never rank them against each other, in her love or her affection or her esteem.
But in terms of individual traits, she thinks the one she likes the most is the one she's never going to acknowledge out loud. That no one ever acknowledges out loud.
She loves her youngest daughter's nose.
Dana loves Rosemary's long, sharp, aquiline nose that looks not quite like hers or Benji's.

Summary
“How are you?” he asks.
Dana looks at him. He doesn’t mean fine? hanging in there? surviving? He means the real thing.
She could tell him the truth. That every condolence card feels like a small fresh violence. That she keeps reaching for her phone to text Benji stupid little things and then remembering.
Instead, she says, “I’m upright.”
Robby’s mouth curves. “I noticed.”

Dana’s husband dies. In the aftermath, there are daughters to raise, shifts to work, and a colleague who refuses to let her fall apart alone.

Summary
In the wake of the revelations cast into the air and sands of the Aiel Waste, and the unfortunate realization of where her trust could and could not lie, for her own safety, Egwene al'Vere condemned herself to a task she wished she hadn't been forced to undertake.
A task based on a reason far more dangerous than mere jealousy or the disillusionment of a broken heart.
A task based on trust and loyalty.
Egwene al'Vere condemned herself to spy , and forced herself to stay, night after night, because in the dreams of the Dragon Reborn, there were no more lies.
The truth was undeniable.
Clear as the white on the woman he held in his arms, still condemning the world for the love of his enemy.
