Building Arcadia takes place over a span of three years. During that time, the characters are separated and brought together in various combinations, due both to circumstance and their own decisions regarding "what is best".

This is Kelly's song. It represents her determination, despair, and strength.

Excerpt:

[Connor's] poker face had improved, and now when Kelly asked how he was and he said “no complaints”, it took her an extra few seconds to interpret his expression. She wanted to ask him about other things, about rumors one heard about prison, but she wasn’t going to ask in a crowded room next to other inmates and their wives and mothers.

When the guard looked away, she risked brushing the back of Connor’s hand with her fingers. He sucked in a sharp breath.

“Maybe you should find out about conjugal visits,” she said. He nodded with his mouth hanging open. It took all her restraint not to fling herself across the table. In the end, the guard broke them up with a sharp “Touching!” barked from his position near the door. Connor dropped his hand to his side, as if he had been the one breaking the rules.

“Did I get you in trouble?” Kelly asked.

He shook his head, wry smile in place, and said, “It’ll be worth it.”

“Is that prison humor or are you really... Connor, is it something?”

“I’m kidding, babe. Don’t worry.”

And there it was, his new poker face, and this one she could not interpret, not even after she rolled it over in her mind for hours.
