    Summary

    Kristen slumps back against the wall, wishing she had a Yerba Mate, or else a goddess. She glances over at Kipperlilly, who hops up onto a nearby desk, pointedly ignoring Kristen. Her feet don’t quite touch the ground from this position, and her platform Mary Janes swing slightly over the linoleum. Kristen wonders, briefly, if they’ve ever crushed a rat.

    “Is it stressful, being so perfect all the time?”
    Something passes over Kipperlilly. Kristen can’t read it for the life of her. Her eyes gleam under the shitty fluorescent lighting.
    “Do you think I’m perfect?” she asks delicately, like it’s a dare.

    //

    The thing about Kristen is that she's a mess. The thing about Kipperlilly is that she's not. The thing about hating someone is that it's a lot like loving them. The thing about competing with someone is that you think about them all the damn time.

    Summary

    Rummaging through her pockets, Vi finds one of Powder’s hairpins. She bends it out, only meaning to kill time, but ends up crouched in front of the lock, making a real go of it.

     

     

     

    “What do you think you’re doing?” a man’s voice booms from behind her.

     

    “Breaking into a rich girl’s place.” Vi clicks her tongue, concentration lost. “Mind your own business.”

     

    “Call the police. Now,” a woman’s voice joins.

     

    Sighing, Vi pushes herself to her feet and says, “Calm down. My girlfriend lives here.”

     

    She turns, jerks her thumb at the door, and freezes. Before her are two strangers she’s caught glimpses of dozens of times: Caitlyn’s mother and father, caricatures of their own photographs. Vi can’t tell if it’s disbelief or horror on their faces, or if it’s worth discerning between the two. Caitlyn’s mother holds out her phone, thumb hovering over 9.

     

    “Shit,” Vi says.

    Summary

    The woman at the bar has been pretending not to watch Vi for the last hour. Usually, Vi would be the last person to object – the woman is around her age, with sharp, focused eyes and a mouth Vi would love to get a begrudging smile out of – but it isn’t the first time she’s seen her. Not just in The Last Drop, either. The woman always has that same, calculated focus, and is constantly glancing down to write in the notebook she always carries.

    Summary

    “No, no, like. You’re out of university, you’ve got a steady job, a nice apartment, you’re married with a kid on the way. Percy, you’re almost 30! You have your whole life together!”

    Something inside Percy twinges. A thing in the back of his mind, perking up. He pushes it down and holds back a sigh.

    “Trust me, Nico,” Percy tries to laugh, “I’m still figuring things out.”
