Summary
After her father’s sudden death, Trinity returns to her childhood home in Boulder, Colorado; a place of manicured lawns, suppressed trauma, and the conservative family she has long kept at arm’s length. Yolanda accompanies but only after agreeing to Trinity's terms that they pose as friends, forcing their long-term relationship to become a secret. What begins as a brief trip to organize a funeral stretches into an indefinite stay when Trinity’s brothers guilt her into staying behind to care for their mother. As the days turn into weeks, Yolanda remains at Trinity’s side, but their relationship begins to feel the effects of being tucked away for too long. As Trinity's ghosts from Boulder grow increasingly relentless, she and Yolanda must confront whether their relationship can survive the turbulence, or if they should have abandoned ship long ago.
or
Trinity brings Yolanda to her childhood home with the requirement that they hide their relationship from her conservative family. The ramifications of that choice quickly make themselves clear as their relationship is challenged.
It's "Happiest Season" but in the summer, with a death in the family, a (somewhat) healthier relationship, and no Aubrey Plaza.

Summary
If Trinity thought her blood pressure had spiked when she saw the knife, the feeling that she gets when she sees Izzy in the doorway to the room Trinity had left is akin to the worst case of hypertension she's ever seen. She wouldn't be surprised if the veins in her eyes are bursting, sending ribbons of red spilling out across the whites.
Alex is beginning to speak again, his voice shaking but his tone firm and unrelenting. "I have to go—"
Trinity reaches out instinctively, unable to think about anything other than keeping Izzy out of his eyeline. "Alex! Don't—"
She doesn't see him pull out the knife. But a split second after he moves there's a sharp pain in her left arm, blood immediately welling up out of a slash across it. She presses onto it with her other hand, shying away from him in pain, her basic animal brain telling her to protect the injury.
This is the wrong move.
or: it turns out that, for trinity at least, getting stabbed makes you rethink a few things. among these things is included your ex-situationship-turned-tentative-work-friend-turned-awkward-avoidanceship (yeah, it's a mouthful. maybe quicker to just call her garcia)

Summary
The air in the room became distinctly uncomfortable. McKay flicked her eyes curiously between the two woman, watching them interact with some degree of confusion. “Uh, sorry— you two know each other?”
“She’s my ex-wife,” Garcia spits, keeping her eyes locked sharply with Trinity’s in a challenging glare.

Summary
Twenty to thirty years. She had done the math in that courtroom and landed on thirty-seven and let herself exhale for the first time in years. She had been seventeen and wearing a blouse her mother had pressed the night before because her mother had needed something to do with her hands in the same way her Nanay was cooking all day, and she had sat in the second row and listened to the sentence and let the number settle over her like something solid. Like a foundation. Like something she could build on top of.
She was twenty-eight.
And he had been good.
