Summary
It is only their second date. Trina does not mean to invite him in.
It’s been nice and all, but she doesn’t want to talk anymore, so she shouldn't have invited him in.
She offers him a drink and he says he’ll have a small one, so she gets out two glasses and pours. When she hands it to him, he’s fidgety and nervous. He’s always fidgety and nervous. She shouldn’t have invited him in.

Summary
Deirdre laughs. “I do not do what you do. I do not have both sexes falling at my feet every night.”
“Would you like that?”
She opens her mouth to speak, only to find she cannot. She knows that she wants to say yes, only it seems such an improper thing to admit. But Alice only smiles at her hesitation.
“Dear girl, there is so much I can teach you.”
“How to be like you, you mean?”
“If you like.”
“What an idea.” She replies, suddenly flustered. “I’m not sure that I… I mean, I’m not– I couldn’t–”
“Why don’t we start with something you’ll find a little more… Agreeable? Hm?”

Summary
“Well,” She says through gritted teeth. “If that is how you feel, then I shall go.”
“By all means.” Alice replies, turning back to her letter.
“Fine.” Deirdre tells her, and waits.
And waits.
And stomps her foot.
“Alice.” She hisses.
And Alice cackles.
“Do not laugh at me.”
“Oh.” She chuckles, her voice instantly softening, “Oh, my sweet, come here.”

“Judy, it’s me. I mean Josh, it’s Josh– Oh crap!” There’s a loud shattering sound, as Judy hurries to open the door. “Hey!” Josh says cheerily, no longer feigning a whisper, his face falling when he says, “I owe you a plant pot.”

Summary
“Maybe–” Judy begins, making Violet smile, as she attempts to keep the kiss going. “Do you think I should put something in the oven quickly?”
“Sure.” Violet breathes, as Judy pushes her shirt over her shoulders, helping her free her arms and Violet immediately kneels before her, tugging her underwear down past her thighs, until Judy is stepping out of them. “You wanna go do that?” She asks, looking up at her, both hands now on the backs of her thighs.
Judy licks her lips before decidedly shaking her head.

Summary
“Sweetheart.” Violet whispers, seeing the concern on Judy’s face, and for a moment Judy snaps out of it, returning her full attention to Violet. Ready to listen to whatever instruction comes out of her mouth. Ready to learn. “You aren’t going to break me.”
It’s not what she expects to hear.
And when Violet pulls her closer, Judy allows herself to collapse into her embrace.
Progress.

Summary
Rather than her usual updo, Judy's hair cascades down her back, the ends sitting in perfect voluminous curls.
Violet swallows, looking back down at her desk in an attempt to bring herself back to the present, lest someone catch her staring, or worse, blushing. But she just can’t stop herself from recalling the last time she saw Judy with her hair down like this.

“Hey, you wanna see me do a handstand?” Madeline asks when they part, looking like an excited puppy.
“I can think of something I’d rather do more.” Helen answers, her hands returning to the strings at Madeline’s hips, playfully tugging as she leans back in and their lips briefly touch.
“Okay, but just one?”

Summary
Things are almost like they used to be in college. Madeline still spills her every thought to Helen, who’s still always there to listen. Madeline still asks Helen for her opinion on all of her outfits before she wears them out. Madeline still dresses Helen up in her clothes and does her makeup to match when they’re bored and there’s nothing better to do. Madeline still pines for more.

“You’re telling me you’d still want me if I dressed the way I used to? If I never drank the potion?” Helen asks with a smirk, but Madeline only feels confused.
“Wait, what?”
“In fact, don’t answer that. I don’t wanna know.”
“Wait, what?” Madeline repeats, a new urgency to her tone, almost dropping the paintbrush.

Summary
“So.” Madeline begins, biting her bottom lip and feeling her mouth go dry when she tries to say more. Seconds go by. “So,” She repeats, as Helen just watches her, waiting. “What if…” She says, looking down at her hands and then back up at Helen. “I was to kiss you?”

Summary
“So, what about when one of us wants to bring someone back here?”
That gets Madeline’s attention, as her head immediately darts up in Helen’s direction.
“What do you mean?” She asks, unsure why the question makes her feel so uncomfortable and inexplicably furious.
“Y’know, like, if one of us brings a guy home or something.” Helen shrugs like it’s the most casual thing in the world. “Shouldn’t we have some kind of protocol?”
“Oh.” Madeline replies, but what she actually wants to say is no.

Summary
It’s so nice to be in each other’s presence and not feel the need to fill the time with words, to be touching but not talking, to just hang out together but separate, to sit in this totally comfortable silen–
“What do you think of this lip colour?” Madeline asks, putting down her mirror and looking at Helen expectedly. Helen lowers her book and glares at her.

Summary
“It’s all for you.”
And there it is. The subtle change in Helen’s expression that lights a fire inside of Madeline. Slowly, Helen lifts a hand to Madeline’s throat, curling her fingers around it and squeezing just tight enough to start up Madeline’s stone cold heart.
“Say that again.” Helen demands.

Summary
Madeline sighs, placing a hand on the back of Helen’s chair. Helen gives her zero reaction, so she sighs again, this time louder. When there’s still nothing from the other woman, Madeline places a hand on her shoulder and lets out the loudest, most dramatic sigh of her life.
Helen finally looks up from her vision board, staring blankly ahead, as she asks, “What?”

Summary
Sitting across from Violet on the sofa in her apartment, Judy only has one thing on her mind.
She’d invited Violet over for dinner after work as a sort-of second date, since neither of them wanted to wait until the weekend to go out again.
But now that they’ve had dinner, now that their shoes have been kicked off and they’re just talking on the sofa, Judy can’t help but think about how badly she wants to kiss her again.

Summary
The first time Madeline holds Helen’s hand, it sends a shiver through Helen so powerful, she physically recoils.
“What?” Madeline asks, startled, as she looks her up and down to make sure she’s okay.
“I don’t know.” Helen says, eyes shifting uncomfortably. “Don’t… Do that.”
