    Summary

    “Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.

    “Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.

    “Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.

    It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.

    With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

    Summary

    Every Monday (and on special occasions) Penelope took her husband to bed.

    It was an agreement, after a year of marriage, that they would finally explore each other for the sake of having a child. It did not mean anything, not at all.

    Summary

    She was supposed to be celebrating her engagement, after all.

    Summary

    Shelby meets Toni’s gaze until she’s impossibly close to Toni’s face, her lips. She hasn’t moved, hasn’t said anything, still has that stubborn set to her jaw, the challenging fire in her eyes that seems to whisper, I dare you, which Shelby takes as a win. She closes her eyes as she slides her hand to cup Toni’s cheek, anchoring both of them. Their noses bump and press together and Shelby can feel the heat radiating from Toni’s face, the peeling skin scratching softly against her own burnt face.

     

    She remembers kissing Toni the first time and it’s equally as exciting and intoxicating the second time, if not more. Toni’s lips are chapped against hers but they’re soft and sweet from the lychee juice. Her world slips out of balance when Toni presses back, gently, and she sways a little, her knees unused to the slope she’s standing on and the feeling of Toni reciprocating what she wants, what she needs.

     

    or: Toni and Shelby spend the night away from the others and what they learn about each other in the process
