    Summary

    Yolanda knows Trinity's hands intimately. She knows the rhythm of them at work, fast and precise and unendingly capable. She has the feeling of them on her waist at two in the morning, warm under the hem of her shirt and pressing into the lower edges of her ribs, memorized. She can find the half-moon scar near Trinity's right thumb without a second glance and is familiar with the way she cracks her knuckles every morning as soon as she wakes up, like her own personal version of a morning stretch.

    So when, hardly an hour into their night out with coworkers, Trinity's fist slams into a man's face hard enough to send him staggering into the edge of a high-top table, Yolanda is so stunned that she reels almost as hard as the actual recipient of the punch.

    Summary

    “We’re matching, you like everyone knowing you’re mine?”

    “Very much,” she whispers, leaning in to bite Santos’s bottom lip. She groans at the contact before Yolanda kisses her properly. “My handsome girl. All mine.”

    “All yours,” Trinity breathlessly mutters back, threading her hand through Yolanda’s curls as she deepens the kiss. They’re so lost in the act that they don’t hear Whitaker rounding the corner and pushing open the door.

    “Did you take my deodorant again—jeez, guys. Get a room.”

    ***

    Trinity drags Yolanda, Dennis and Victoria to Pittsburgh's pride march, where no one seems to get the hint that her and Garcia are very much taken. Later that night, she shows Yolanda just how committed she is.
