Arrival of the Birds – Abandoned by her mother as a small child, Allie has spent her life trying not to disappoint anyone. She expects little out of relationships, and even in her thirties remains deep in the closet for fear coming out would drive her loved ones away. She spends her time surrounded by books, the only kind of solace that has never let her down. Her friend Josie, a spontaneous, fun-loving college professor, seems determined to defy Allie’s low expectations in life. She persists in finding new ways to brighten Allie’s life and reassure her she will always be there, no matter what. Allie can’t help falling for her, but she’s certain Josie would never feel the same way. When Allie’s mother suddenly turns back up, Allie wants to believe it’s an attempt to rekindle their relationship and finally heal her childhood trauma, but Josie suspects there is more to the unexpected contact. Nevertheless, when Allie agrees to make an enormous sacrifice for her mother, Josie promises to see her through it. Allie finds old wounds reopened as she faces the draining ordeal, but with Josie steadfastly by her side, she begins to wonder if perhaps it is time to come out and try to mend her broken heart.
Stay – Grace Walker doesn’t do relationships. She spent her childhood in and out of foster homes, she and her siblings looking after each other when their drug-addicted mother couldn’t.

But then she runs into someone from her childhood: Eva Carrington, an orphaned heiress who did a brief stint in a children’s home alongside Grace. The two felt a strong connection as children, and now that they’re adults, it’s even stronger. But Grace sticks to her guns: she doesn’t do relationships, and she’s certain kind, intelligent Eva deserves better than her anyway. But then someone else from the past hurts Eva badly to get revenge on Grace for some perceived slight, and Eva ends up pregnant. When she makes the difficult decision to have the baby, Grace promises to be there for mother and child no matter what. But with this makeshift family on her hands, can Grace keep pretending she doesn’t love Eva?
