    Summary

    Miranda studied the tie closest to Nigel’s wrist, a patternless option in tangerine. She picked it up and beckoned Andrea over with a bend of one finger. Once close enough, she draped the tie over her assistant's left shoulder to compare it against the large apricot-toned hibiscus on the print of her blouse. It was exactly the color she was looking for, and as Miranda smoothed the fabric with her hand, she could feel Andrea’s heart thundering beneath her palm. A pink blush crept up her chest and neck, and as it made its way to her cheeks, Miranda silently admired how lovely the hue was there.

    Summary

    She glances sideways at Madison again, and she's just in time to see Madison look over at her sharply before the younger woman rolls her eyes. "If you've got something to say to me, just fucking say it."

    "You've been giving me things. Why?"

    Madison stares back at her flatly. "I don't know what you're talking about."

    Misty shakes her head, amused at the continued attempt at denial. "Oh, I think you do."

    ***

    Or: Misty keeps getting random (but incredibly nice???) gifts from a mystery person, Madison is terrible at trying to apologize, and they spend a lot of time sitting on benches talking in the middle of the night.
