Summary
“Clarke, this is my girl- my fiancée.” Costia links their hands, hiding her face on her fiancée’s shoulder and chuckling as the woman looks at her with a fond smile, “I’m still getting used to it. This is Lexa.”
Lexa.
For a moment, Clarke takes her in, wondering what are the odds that two people have the same unusual name in the same small town. Because the woman who gave her a ride yesterday, with her polished looks and sly smirk, can’t be the same giddy woman standing in front of her with an honest to God cowboy hat on her head.
But something about her eyes- fuck.
If her hair was tucked into a neat low bun, if winged eyeliner was complimenting her green eyes- fuck.
Reaching out her hand for Lexa to take, Clarke hurries to think of something to say, but the woman - Costia’s fiancée - beats her to it. “We’ve met before, actually,” Lexa’s voice is composed as she shakes Clarke’s hand, like it’s not a big deal that they met before.
Forcing a smile and a polite nod, Clarke sighs because truthfully, it is not that big of a deal. If Clarke was smitten by her kindness and quick wit, that’s her own problem and she’ll have to deal with it on her own.

Summary
Clarke hitches her purse into the crook of her elbow and rests a hand on the doorknob, fingers aching to turn it. She would rather go home than be talked into attending some ghastly book club hosted by Lexa. “I’m afraid I would feel very awkward. Everybody already knows everybody, and I’ll only stick out like a sore thumb."
“Well, the point is for you to bridge that gap”, Henry insists, and she doesn’t need to look at Mark to see her husband smiling encouragingly. He would want her to leave the house. “Come on, Clarke.”
“Yes, Clarke,” Lexa speaks up for the first time, gaze trained on her and the ghost of a smirk on her lips. It feels like a challenge; like Lexa is daring her to say no. “Say you’ll come.”
