    Summary

    When Carla is hired for Lisa's birthday party, their connection is instant. I can't really describe the plot in more detail than that because honestly, there isn't much of one. It's very smutty. I do apologise. I don't know what's happened to my brain. Maybe it's the weather or the loss of One Night Stand!

    AU - Lisa isn't widowed and doesn't have Betsy. Carla has a slightly different history. And they're both 40.

    Summary

    AU: Detective Lisa Swain has spent her life chasing criminals, not learning how to swim. When a near-miss during a pursuit forces her to confront her weakness, she signs up for lessons—only to find herself face-to-face with Carla Connor, a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense instructor with an infuriatingly attractive smirk.

    Lisa’s demanding schedule makes regular lessons impossible, but Carla, against her usual rules, offers private nighttime sessions at the pool. As the lessons progress, so does the tension between them—heated banter, fleeting touches, and a pull neither of them can ignore.

    What starts as simple swimming lessons quickly turns into something far deeper, leaving Lisa to wonder if she’s in over her head in more ways than one.

    Which would be great—if either of them was capable of casual.

    Summary

    “She’s besotted with us, isn’t she?” Lisa says, amused. “Not that I mind. It’s nice, you know? Kids seeing queer relationships in public and thinking nothing of it.”

    She gestures vaguely between them, “Even if that’s not what this is.”

    OR What if Carla never said, “Don’t get dressed,” and the sapphic yearning continued?
