    Summary

    Erin should just stop taking Michelle up on her stupid dares and bets, particularly (but not limited to) the ones that end in her having to stay the night in haunted houses.

    Although perhaps even haunted houses have their charms, as long as you're in the right company.

    Summary

    Max is dragged to a rock concert by Safi and Amanda, and she can't be too mad when the members of the band are pretty hot (and gay). Especially the blue haired guitarist, who Max can't help but obsessively stare at. When they cross paths at a bar after the concert, Safi gives her a friendly shove to go over and talk to her. And she does. She's hot and cool, and her name is Chloe, but that's totally just a coincidence. The last time Max saw her childhood best friend, they'd barely been teenagers.

    Chloe can't believe Max actually doesn't recognize her. It's been over fifteen years, sure, but she recognized Max on sight. She wants to be hurt about it, but the flirting and promise of a fun one night stand make her hesitate. So she decides to go along with it, pretend she doesn't know exactly who Max Caulfield is.

    Until things get real back at the hotel, and she has no choice but to confess.

    Summary

    And as quiet as her old junker can be, she pulls into the driveway ten minutes later, killing the engine. She leans back against the seat, and then there’s Max, clueless and glowing as she sits next to her under the stern light of the streetlamp, glowing as the mouth of the moon opens wide. The last of the summer’s whining cicadas are clicking in the darkness around them, and Chloe finds herself stuck in this thick, sticky October headspace, like Max still lives two houses down and they just got back from one of their middle-of-the-night drugstore raids. It’s the most simple, sweet thing that she’s felt in a long while.
