Fics like maybe you were the ocean when i was just a stone

She thinks about Garth in circles, always returning to the same unanswered questions only to find they’ve changed shape in her absence. Every conclusion Daisy reaches about Garth feels incomplete, abandoned halfway through. The longer she knows him, the more Daisy realizes she is not arriving at answers so much as assembling them. Filling in what Garth does not say, assigning meaning to the spaces he leaves behind, deciding, almost without meaning to, what kind of man it’s possible for him to be. Daisy is left gathering pieces, still hoping that if she arranges them carefully enough, they will eventually fit together. After all, the best lies in Gilead, Daisy has learned, are the ones people create for themselves. ------ Daisy and Garth are selected to marry and this is what happens after.
