Summary
“No, but really, this is Esther Warner. She made the Gates of Anara! What am I gonna say?”
Clance raised her eyebrows. “You say ‘hello.’ You say ‘great to meet you.’ You say ‘your work is amazing.’ You shouldn’t say, ‘we have the same type of magic and I’ve been secretly obsessed with you for the last five years, ever since I picked up a random necklace for my dear and incredible best friend Clance–”
“Alright–”
“–and I lost my whole mind over the ‘complexity and flair of both the magic and metalwork,’ though you could, because it’s, like, embarrassingly accurate.

Summary
Max recalls how she first met Clance during one of her last nights at Clance’s before leaving with Red Wright’s All-Stars.
(Inspired by Chanté tweeting “I think Max and Clance met at school when they were five. Clance saw a boy push Max so she came over to beat him up. Then Max shared her PBJ with Clance and Clance shared her milk and then they became best friends.”)

Summary
Come with me, Max had said. I don’t think Lupe invited anyone else from work. I won’t know anyone there. We can just stay for a couple of hours, drink their beer, and then head back to yours. I won’t have any fun without you. Please. Please please please please.
Max invites Esther to a party; Esther mostly talks to Jess instead.

It’s just for a moment, a flick of eye contact, but Max feels like the floor is dropping out beneath her, as the woman’s face starts to open up into a full smile, the apples of her cheeks gliding to accommodate an easy grin.

Summary
Oh no.
She’s gorgeous. Beautiful hair, and big sparkling eyes, and she’s looking at Max with a smile that’s on the edge of turning sly, now that Max is –
Just staring at her. Perfect.
“Hi,” Max croaks.
She’s fine, this is absolutely fine. This might be the pinnacle of her life, here, at the concession stand of a drive-in movie.
