Summary
"She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.
"We're two friends having dinner."
"At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."
"It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."
"You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."
"That's not a date, that's paying attention."
"Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.
--
More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

Summary
Because she always wants to hear everything from Emily. Except, apparently, this.
“I met someone.”
Andy blinks. Once. Twice.
Her fingers tighten fractionally around the stem of her wine glass. She swallows. Pulls in a breath that feels strangely shallow in her lungs.
“That’s great, Em,” she means to say immediately. Brightly, effortlessly. “Tell me everything.”
Instead, what comes out is small and terribly honest.
“Oh.”

Summary
The woman walking toward her was not the Andrea she remembered.
Or rather: she was, and she wasn't. The face was the same — the same particular warmth to it, the same mouth, slightly too wide for conventional beauty but somehow more interesting for it. But everything else had shifted. She carried herself differently. There was a straightness to her spine that hadn't been there before, a kind of settled confidence that showed not in how she held her shoulders but in how she held her ground.
or
Andrea is different now. Emily doesn't know what to do with that.

Summary
"It’s just fiction" Andy whispered, but the air in the apartment had turned to lead.
"Right" Emily said, her voice an octave lower. "Rubbish."
OR: Andy is a journalist, so she is obviously trained to investigate the truth. But when a late-night Twitter scroll reveals fifty eight fanfictions written about her and Emily Charlton, her reality completely fractures.
It’s supposed to be a joke. But as Emily reads the explicit details out loud, the sarcasm dies, their easy grace vanishes, and the room becomes heavy.

Summary
“You lied to me,” is what she is greeted with. “I texted Bronwyn and she said she was home. I didn’t ask her to let me in because you clearly don’t want me to. Why?”
The way her voice shakes genuinely startled Emily. She really hadn’t thought this through.
“Let’s just go back to meeting up outside, Sachs. We can’t–”
“Stop that.”
“What?”
“Calling me Sachs. That feels like you’re pushing me away.”or
Andrea slotted into her life, her routine, with such ease. And when her kids started to become more dependent on her…
Emily spiraled.

Summary
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask you something,” McKay said after a few minutes. Her voice was quieter now, just enough for Victoria to hear. “Would you want to babysit Harrison again?”
“Oh?”
“Only if you want to, of course.” She paused. "It’s just… he won't stop asking about you."
“I’d love to.” It came out more eager than she intended. "I mean, if you don't mind having me in your house every weekend."or

Summary
They stood there, close together in Andrea's doorway, Andrea's hand still on Emily's wrist. Emily could feel Andrea's pulse under her fingers, quick and strong. She looked at Andrea's face—her eyes, dark and serious; her mouth, soft and slightly uncertain. She thought about kissing her. It would be so easy, just to lean forward, to close the small distance between them, to press her mouth against Andrea's and—
And what? What would that solve? What would it change?
or
5 times Emily didn't kiss Andrea, and the one time she did.

Summary
She thinks of Victoria’s face. She thinks of the smooth, unblemished skin, the bright, sharp eyes that haven't yet seen the absolute worst the world has to offer.
(She thinks of being the one to taint her before the world does, to taint her so much so that she goes into the world unaffected, unafraid.)
Cassie presses the heel of her palms against her eyes until she sees darkness. The disgust is so heavy it feels like a physical weight on her shoulders.
She deserves the pain. She deserves the petals.
Or: Cassie McKay's guilt manifests itself in Hanahaki disease.

"That's a very pretty speech," Garcia says, and then she goes quiet, and Victoria watches her face do something she has seen before. The face of someone who has just decided they have a card and is deciding whether to play it. "Is that what this is about? Teaching?"
"What else would—"
"Or is it something else." Garcia's eyes move, briefly, to Victoria—just a flick of attention, barely two seconds yet entirely intentional—and back to McKay.
Victoria's stomach drops.
