    Summary

    It had started fairly innocuously. A visit back to Los Angeles for a legal conference. An email, to an old address she barely checked anymore, from a girl she remembered a little too well. A subpar oat milk cappuccino in an over-air-conditioned cafe, and Maya Fey across the table from her, going on about something that foolish man had said while she devoured a cupcake with enthusiasm bordering on obscene.

    Franziska can't remember what she had been saying. She can remember how Maya had had a small bit of vanilla frosting on her lip. She can remember reaching across the table to smudge it away with her thumb.

    What, exactly, had made her take such a step - Franziska does not know. It doesn't really matter. The frosting had been a promise.

    And Franziska von Karma does not make empty promises.
