    Summary

    The nurse politely peered over the edge of her clipboard, nose wrinkled. “Any possibility of pregnancy?”

    Caitlyn wanted to laugh. Vi did, then seemed to remember that shade of hazy blue, breath humid and hot against the nape of a neck, the roll and recoil of her hips—

    Caitlyn sucked in a sharp breath and swallowed. Shit.

    OR, a gift from a friend and a getaway lead to vi and caitlyn biting off more than they can chew.

    Summary

    She set the bags on her bed and got to work. Laptop open, she pulled up the tutorial video for the pipe-cleaner bouquet, deciding she’d assemble the candy bouquet tomorrow morning when her nerves weren’t already fried.

    The pipe cleaners, however, did not care about her emotional state.

    She poked herself once—and then several more times after.

    By the twentieth stab, she was convinced the flowers were actively fighting back.

    Halfway through shaping a petal, there was a knock at her door.

    She froze.

    “Rumi?” Zoey’s voice came muffled through the wood, warm and slightly pouty. “Can I come in? I wanna cuddle. I barely saw you all day.”

    Crap.

    Think.

    Think fast.

    “I—uh—I’m busy!” she blurted.

    Pause.

    She panicked and her brain supplied the worst possible cover story ever:

    “I’m naked and looking at my body for anatomical reference—I can’t right now, sorry!”

    or

    Rumi attempts to celebrate her first Valentine’s Day and nearly implodes.

    Summary

    “I’m serious! She’s…ugh…she’s incredible. And I…oh god, I miss her so much right now..” Her voice cracked dramatically, and she leaned forward, elbows on the bar, hiding her face in her hands.

    Mylo’s brow furrowed. “Miss her? She’s at home, isn’t she?”

    “Exactly!” Vi threw her hands up, gesturing wildly. “And I’m here, surrounded by…by people who are loud and annoying and…ugh..” She kicked at the stool, sending it scraping against the floor.

    “I just want to be with her..I want to see her stupid little smirk when she reads something she likes, I want to…ugh…” She flopped back onto the stool, letting out a long, theatrical sigh. "I miss my wife."

    OR

    Drunk Vi gets just a little bit too sappy.

    Summary

    Rumi’s jaw trembled. “You think I don’t notice?” she pressed, voice thick with hurt she couldn’t hide anymore. “The way you look at me like I’m… annoying. Like I’m nothing. Like I’ll never be good enough for you.”

    “That’s not—” Mira’s voice faltered, snapping off before it could betray her. She clenched her teeth hard enough her jaw ached.

    Rumi didn’t stop. She couldn’t—she was unraveling, and she dragged Mira down with her.

    “Then what is it?!” Rumi’s nails curled into Mira’s arm, desperate, pleading, furious. “Why do you treat me like I’m the problem? Like I’m the only one you can’t stand to be around? Everyone else gets the part of you that laughs, that smiles, that actually lets people in—but me?” Her breath shuddered. “All I get is this.”

    Her voice cracked on this, and it hit harder than any hit they’d thrown.

    Mira squeezed her eyes shut, chest trembling. Stop. Please stop. I can’t do this.

    But Rumi pushed—because she needed an answer, because she was breaking.

    “You hate me so much? Then fine—say it!” she choked. “Say it to my face so I can finally stop wondering why the hell I keep trying with you.”

    Summary

    The client hadn’t really requested anything at all; their emails had been almost overly polite, if not jarringly formal, and had selected only the most vanilla options on the questionnaire she provided. Certainly a far cry from the standard practices of her usual clientele, but this one had paid upfront and picked this expensive hotel, and Mira’s fees are dear enough on their own that she had been coloured intrigued. 

    Mira takes a left down the hallway after leaving the elevator and finds herself at the door to the room. She doesn’t steel herself—doesn’t need to. She can handle anything. Has handled most things. Mira swipes the keycard and lets herself in. 

    The person sitting on the bed is probably the last thing she expects.

    In which Mira is a professional, Rumi is socially inept, and Zoey is also there. Let's hope nobody catches feelings.
