    Summary

    Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.

    Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.

    Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
    “For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”

    Kang Mira sent you $501.00
    “lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”

    Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”

    Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

    Summary

    Rumi is a legacy, born into the game, sharpened by its demands, and slowly splintering beneath the weight of perfection. Everyone sees a prodigy. She sees the cracks. Her sets are clean, calculated, and full of control, but there’s desperation behind every toss. Then there’s Mira: tall, unshakable, terrifyingly smart. Her wall is ruthless, her cross shots deadly, and she doesn’t play by Rumi’s script, not if she sees a better way. Zoey is all motion and heart, underestimated until she isn’t, digging up the impossible and hitting with a kind of joy that feels like defiance. Together, they could be brilliant. Together, they could be more than the sum of their scars. But Rumi has secrets she won’t name, Mira won’t follow blind, and Zoey’s smile masks the strain of trying to be enough. They’re not perfect. They don’t trust easily. But if they can learn to move as one — to reach through the dark and connect — they might just become a team worth fearing.

    Summary

     Six years since Rumi disappeared off the face of the Earth.

    Well, alright, maybe that was dramatic. Sure, she'd left with little warning, but there still was some. A short 10 minute conversation filled with yelling, screaming, cussing, and then she was gone. An uber. 3 suitcases, 2 eyes full of what Zoey remembered to be shame and pity, and one extremely broken family.

    --OR--

    The last thing married couple Zoey and Mira expected was a text from longtime ex and bandmate, Rumi.

    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Rumi moves in with two strangers and they fall in love boom

    Summary

    After a lifetime of self-denial, Rumi finally finds herself being touched. A lot. And maybe it’s the demon in her, greedy, ravenous, insatiable, that just can’t get enough, just keeps demanding more and more and more. But she’s terrified of crossing the invisible boundary into too much.

    Or: Rumi and physical touch (a love story).
