    Summary

    This first month since her father got back from prison has been inarguably worse, almost numbingly so, April going about her routine like a robot, paralyzed of what will happen if she breaks it. It’s been day after day of school, clubs, dinner, homework, lying awake in bed, heart pounding fast with fear about what resides in her house, finally falling asleep, having an erotic dream about Sterling Wesley, waking up in a state of both fear and arousal, taking a very long shower, repeat.

    It’s been exhausting to say the least. And April’s not stupid, she’s known it would have to end at some point.

    She just didn’t expect it to end with a fire on her front lawn.

    Summary

    part of you was hoping that april would be at the tournament.
    but she's not -- either her new school doesn’t have debate, or maybe she just stopped doing it, or maybe, maybe she wasn’t good enough to make it.
    she’s mad at you, almost irreparably so, you’re sure, but you would have allowed her to hit you, beat you up, scream at you in front of the entire school.

    at least that would be something.

    Summary

    “So who exactly does April Stevens even need protection from?” Sterling asks.

    Bowser and Yolanda exchange a look, one that tells Sterling the siblings certainly haven’t heard the whole story. It worries her but she shrugs the concern away for the time being.

    “Her father.”

    Sterling doesn’t know if that was Bowser or Yolanda, because her brain short circuits the moment she hears it.

    Her father.

    John Stevens.

    The same John Stevens that was arrested ten years ago for domestic abuse, corruption, trafficking and a long list of other crimes Sterling doesn’t have time to remember.

    Summary

    So April takes the note and folds it three times over. She shoves it deep in the back of her nightstand drawer, since she can’t risk her parents finding it in the trash. Then she takes a new valentine, one not as carefully chosen as the googly-eyed labradoodle, and simply signs her name in a color that isn’t Sterling’s favorite.

    Now it looks just like everyone else’s and April feels like she can breathe again.

    5 times that April brushes off what she plans to say to Sterling and 1 time she doesn’t.

    Summary

    “Well, this was a nice surprise,” April says, gathering her purse and her carry-on, packed lightly for her three day stay.

    “Yeah, it was.”

    Then April reaches for the door handle and something in Sterling springs into action.

    “Hey, if you’re not, like, super busy this weekend we should catch up.”

    “Sure,” April agrees, far easier than Sterling anticipated, “I’ll call you.”

    Sterling, now driving for Uber in her free time to make extra money, picks up an unexpected passenger at the Boston Logan International Airport.

    Summary

    April’s perfect pink mouth is moving, and it takes Sterling a second to realize that she’s saying something: “Nobody told me.”

    “Told you what?” Sterling replies a beat too late.

    “That you were Margo’s teacher.”

    Sterling blinks, the accusation behind the "you" stinging just a little. She also isn’t sure how to respond—it’s not like the school board would send April an email saying, "Welcome to Orchard Elementary, the girl whose first orgasm you’re responsible for is your daughter’s new teacher."

    April, fresh off a divorce, reappears in Sterling's life in a way that neither of them could ever expect.

    This can not be happening.

    Except it is happening.

    Summary

    Still, though, this is new: April staying with her, being in the same physical space as Sterling for longer than a handful of hours. Sterling would be lying if she said that some part of her wasn’t hoping that something might happen, but she’s trying like heck to find a tiny bit of chill and live in the moment, to let this time be what it will be.

    After years of flirty friendship, Sterling and April might have finally found themselves in the right place at the right time.

    Summary

    She texted Sterling after a week of tossing it back and forth between her heart and her head.

    I think I’m ready to talk to you
    Okay, do you want to talk at school tomorrow or should I call?
    Can we talk after Fellowship? We need somewhere private, somewhere that isn’t the fun zone

    That’s how she ended up back in Sterling's car in the Willingham parking lot in the pouring rain.

    or April contemplates the steps it took to get back to Sterling

    Summary

    The day before school starts, Sterling actually spends the afternoon trying to craft a casually friendly opening line, something to break the ice, but it’s so hard. Every time she practices saying, “Hey April! How was your summer?” all she can think is, I had my first orgasm while thinking about you. And several more after, if I’m being honest.
