Summary
The skin tingles from where Minerva had touched her and her heart is beating so erratically inside her chest that, for a moment, she is convinced that the thumping organ might actually fly out. And then, when the redhead pushes the giant tub of popcorn into Violet’s lap so that the quartet of friends squashing themselves into the plush couch in the darkened movie theatre can all reach, the younger girl is very aware the there are butterflies - no, a herd of wildebeest - stampeding in her chest... and that it actually feels kinda nice.
But, it’s only when the movie is mostly over and the popcorn is almost gone, and as Minerva reaches over to blindly scoop out the last handful of half-popped kernels, that Violet finally admits to herself what she has known all along. Known, but was too afraid to accept about herself, too uncertain to embrace... That she likes girls, specifically Minerva… Likes her. A lot. And that she really, really wants her to like her back.

Summary
The house lights come up. The transitory brightness chasing smudges of watercolour purples over Minerva’s shimmering skin, highlighting her striking features as the performer plucks the microphone from the stand. Her hips roll sensually as she saunters toward the edge of the stage. Her steps touched by song, the melody of her voice still lingering in the air. She inhales. In through her nose, feeling how her lungs inflate- just as before. And her thick lashes, thickened again with mascara, part to reveal ocean-blue eyes touched by storm clouds.
And as her lips, full and pouting and stained blood red, part- her eyes slide, caught by a flicker of movement and a flash of palest gold in her peripherals, stealing her breath and stalling her thoughts.
Minerva has regrets and now has the chance to make things right, if she wishes to face up to her mistakes.
