your favourite menace

The door had been left open, so it wasn’t really like she was eavesdropping, but Karen loitered in the hall outside all the same.

“I’m going to suffocate in this thing, Nancy. Suffocate. To death. Do you want that on your conscience?” she heard Robin say.

“You will not. It’s not even that snug. Now hold still,” came Nancy’s voice in response.

“It might not be snug on you, but you’re like petite in a dainty little fairy kind of way and I have much longer arms than you and much more boob which is painfully clear by how well this bra does not fit!”

Summary:

Choosing her words carefully, Karen asked, “Aren’t you at least a little bit interested?”

Nancy—her brow furrowed in confusion—answered, “In what?”

“It’s just…you’re still single.”

“Thank you for pointing out the abysmally sad state of my love life, Mother, but I’m busy and don’t need—”

“You’re a fierce, independent young woman who’s in charge of her own life. Honey, I know,” Karen told her. “But…I also think that part of the reason you haven’t found a nice girl in Boston is because your interest has been about a hundred miles west all year.”

Nancy’s cheeks flushed pink instantly. “Wha–I don’t–I’m going to bed,” she fumbled out and stood up to leave.

“Nancy Elizabeth, don’t you dare try to tell me that you haven’t been head over heels for that girl for years.”

“That was mine,” Nancy said, tapping her fingers against the empty bottle on the table as she walked by and taking a seat perched on the arm of the couch. All the empty seats in that basement and she still had to choose the one closest to Robin.

“I know. Why are you here?” Robin asked.

“I broke up with Jonathan.”

“Wow. Finally.” Her voice was flat and emotionless.

“So I figured I’d just sleep here tonight to give him some space and have a celebratory drink. But…why are you here drinking my vodka alone?”

“Because Vickie dumped me and unlike you, I actually liked my relationship,” Robin said harshly, refusing to look at Nancy.

Nancy placed her hands on her lap and looked down sheepishly. “Oh…because of last night?”

“Of course because of last night,” Robin scoffed. “Jesus, Nancy. Why would you do that? I told you. I told you not to answer it.”

“I just thought it would be Steve—”

“That’s bullshit and you know it.”
