Summary
"Lexa thinks she should be over this by now. After all, it was her decision to end their relationship, to choose her friends and family and career in Seattle over a life in DC with Clarke. But being here, with Clarke so close, is sending her careening so far off-kilter she doesn't even feel like she's standing anymore. Being this close to Clarke now feels like tumbling head over foot down an eternal hill, and she hates it. Hates Clarke, in a way, for being alluring despite smelling like an entire drugstore's worth of scented bath products and perfumes, for being beautiful despite the gray pencil skirt/blazer combination that is so utterly boring it's like she's trying to advertise she's a bureaucrat. Like she's morphed with that terrible material they make cubicle walls out of and she wants the world to know it. But christ, Clarke must be some sort of sick addiction for her because she still wants—craves—with a reckless lack of control that pricks goosebumps into her skin."
