    Summary

    "She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.

    "We're two friends having dinner."

    "At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."

    "It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."

    "You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."

    "That's not a date, that's paying attention."

    "Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.

    --

    More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

    Summary

    “Mom! Mommy! This is Miss Sachs!”

    Emily stops in place, frowning.

    “Well, where is-”

    Then, a woman rises from behind the pile of folders.

    “…she.”

    Oh. Well. There she is.

    Summary

    A tear slips down his cheek, suddenly, before he can stifle it, and he’s forced to squeeze his eyes shut, grip his hair tighter.

    Something strong, urgent, desperate, grieving- shifts in his head, yanks savagely at his lungs. He hates it, deep down, but he doesn't want to stop the hand gripping the blanket from letting go to reach out to her, either.

    Summary

    The rain from earlier now came down in sheets, each droplet landing with a dull thud that filled the silence of the room. Blue light from the bathroom cast Emily in neon, her red hair haloed at the edges as she propped herself on one elbow, lying on her side to face Andrea.

    Her lipstick had been kissed off, hair wrecked. Eyeshadow smudged, lips bitten and red. Pale cheeks dusted with leftover blush, chest rising and falling in quick succession - still catching her breath.

    She stared at Andrea, her expression a tangle of horror, arousal, and anger.

    Andy’s shirt had been discarded some time ago, but her ugliest garment, the cat pyjamas, somehow remained, rubbing Emily’s bare legs where they intertwined.

    OR - The fic where Andrea finds out Emily works a second job as a yoga instructor and they slowly realise they like each other.
