Summary
And if Madeline's life were a fairytale, there would be a happy ending to all of this.
There would be a kiss over the center console of her car, a hand in hers, a dance shared in the rain to music that only her and Helen can hear moving through their veins with the gentle thrum of blood rush.
But Madeline's life is not, after all, a fairytale and she is not a damsel in distress nor is she a princess in charge of changing her own destiny.
She only plays one in the movies.

Summary
Helen Sharp doesn’t do things like this — though she supposes she can pander to a more literary audience, the sort of thing she’s good at because she studies it — and she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and writes the first thing that comes to mind.
Aspiring author that just wants to be your good girl.
22. She/her.And, because she feels especially emboldened by the thrum of thrill that shivers through her body, she updates the location with a cheeky ‘in your dreams or the next bestselling novel’.

Summary
She knows all of the things that make up a good story — when to use contractions to make the story flow more naturally, where to place a good em dash, the right combination of fluffy, pretty sounding words and clinical things that drag the reader down a rabbit hole they don’t want to put down — and somehow she just can’t apply it to her own writing.
But editing brings in a steady paycheck, Helen reminds herself, and it’s a safe, stable career.
No one tears her work — her novel, her baby, her life’s work compiled into two hundred and forty letter sized pages, twenty six chapters, 1.5 spaced and thirteen point font with serifs because it’s easier to read — to shreds and rips it apart like it took an hour and not the better part of a decade and a half.

Summary
“Does your brain ever shut off?”
Helen thinks this might be Madeline’s way of saying I love you, so she makes a vague sound and traces a line down Madeline’s abdomen with her fingernail. She admires the pretty pink that blooms behind her nail — a severe point and longer than they usually are, so she had to get creative with her mouth — and she presses a gentle kiss to the pale skin just millimeters from her lips.
Helen thinks she might love Madeline back.
She isn’t sure if the thought is terrifying.

Summary
“You’re staring at me.”
Helen can’t help the way she giggles.
She especially can’t help the way she flushes when Madeline looks at her like that.
“Can you blame me? You look like a fucking vision.”
Madeline does too, Helen thinks, with her pretty blonde hair and her skin slightly bronzed from the sun, and Helen is especially fond of the way her eyes crinkle at the corners where the foundation has worn off her face throughout the day. She can see the errant freckles peeking out from beneath her makeup and it makes her look so young that Helen’s heart clenches just a bit.

Summary
“I know you can give me one more, baby.”
Helen’s mind melted somewhere between the second and third orgasm, and her body feels almost gelatinous. She recalls somewhere in the back of her mind that Madeline insisted that if she pushed through the overstimulation and a second orgasm, everything else would feel so much better.
Madeline is almost never wrong.

Summary
“I read the paragraph about you tonight.” She blurts it out, more into Madeline’s mouth than in the room. Madeline makes a little noise, soft and verging on confusion mixed with surprise. “At the book signing. I talked about the character that’s based off of you.”
“Don’t you always?”
“Yes.” She does, always finds a way to weave her Maddie into the stories she writes. “But I like to remind you.”

Summary
It takes Helen a second to understand what’s being said to her, like the words have to wash over her for a moment before she can really digest them. For an author, she has a significant lack of words at the moment.
“Oh.” She thinks, takes another hit. “Mhm, I feel good. Like… I’m floating.”
Madeline makes a sound like she’s pleased, and Helen feels her chest bloom with warmth because she’s done something good.
She only ever wants to please her.

Summary
It takes them a little while to settle into sex working well — for sex to not be transactional for Helen, who always feels like she owes Madeline something she can repay with her body — and there’s this sort of something that floats just out of orbit, something so barely there that Madeline hardly even notices it until it’s tugging at the edges of Helen’s psyche every time they’re in bed together.

Summary
“You don’t have to take care of me, Maddie.”
She wishes she was brave enough to ask Madeline the why of it all, but she fears that it’ll be some shallow, baseless reason that makes her heart twist with sadness.
“You don’t get it, do you?” Madeline laughs, pushes off Helen’s lap and sits across from her, looking at her with the most intense, wide eyes Helen has ever seen. “I have to take care of you and protect you because I’m in fucking love with you, Helen.”

Summary
He climbs the staircase two at a time, prattling about his day and the most recent celebrity he’s treating after a botched rhinoplasty, and he flings open the master bedroom door — partly out of habit, mostly because he was wondering what they’ve decided to fill their day with — and the words die on his tongue when he locks eyes with Madeline.
Madeline, clad in a silky pink robe with fuzzy trim, all bright eyed kiss-swollen lips and smiling up at him like she doesn’t have Helen fucking Sharp over her lap, ass bare. Helen looks like a vision like this — blouse pulled up, elegant skirt unzipped, squirming against Madeline — and Ernest feels like he’s walked in on something he shouldn’t have.
“Oh. I didn’t realize you were… occupied.”

Summary
This is so reminiscent of college that Helen feels a little dizzy and sick by it — though they’re completely grown and changed, in love, undead, and spending eternity together — and if she could go back to those college days for even a moment, she thinks about how much would be different if she had just had the courage to tell Madeline how she felt.
“C’mon, Hel, you’ve gotta get up. You won’t feel better until you do.”
“I hate when you're right.” Helen grumbles, rolls until her face presses into Madeline’s outer thigh. “You take such good care of me.”
OR: Helen is depressed and Madeline knows exactly what she needs.
