“The Aid Station, 1916”

She'd changed, since he'd last seen her in 1913. She'd cut her hair short, and she'd lost her smiles, and she no longer looked at him as if he was someone who mattered.

“In the Cold With You”

It wasn't fair. He was the one who'd been shot at and had his friends blown up with bombs. She'd been here safe all along, eating pizza and ice cream and going to a safe office every day.

“The Magnificent Threesome” with “Tied Noon” and “A Fistful of DeVille”

Austin took a deep breath and said, “The widow don’t hold with women wearing men’s clothes.”

“Vanilla”

Devlin, an American like most of the scientists here, was a few years younger than she, terribly handsome, and, she'd discovered, as chivalrous as her own aged grandfather.

“Twisted Beauty”

They ordered, and Alex deftly stripped the paper from his chopsticks, snapped them apart, and used them to place deep-fried noodles dipped in duck sauce between Sylvia's full lips.

“No Sooner Met”

"There's no shame in it," she said. "It's an honor to be your first."

“Crimean Fairy Tale”

He wished he could see her, see his brown fingers against her brown cheek. He'd never been with a woman of his own color before, and had never realized how beautiful she would be to his eyes.

“8:00 PM: Appointment Tee Vee”

When they meet, Sven hasn't seen Martha's favorite show, on the air for only three episodes. Martha is already in love with the tweedy mentor character, Knightley.
