“mmm, from work,” rowan echoed with a small nod of her head, even if she’d already known that. she paid attention to things more than she cared to admit. probably too much, in all honestly. “i don’t know — she just seems a bit short with me. like she doesn’t really want to try.” she shrugged as if it was some causal thing, though her eyes lingered on them for a moment before shifting away. “you don’t… like her or anything, right?”

tucking her hands in between her thighs in the hopes that the coolness of her exposed legs might warm them, winona just offered a shrug. she didn’t think cosima would be happy to see her but she’d showed up and that was something, wasn’t it? “i was just having a good time! no big deal really, is it? it would’ve been fine if i’d remembered to charge my phone before i went out,” she grumbled a little half-heartedly. “can’t order an uber without it and i couldn’t look for anyone else’s number… so.”

                    " i'm going on a date tonight. " he enunciates every word, as if that was really necessary. but rex wanted to make sure that the other heard him loud and clear. " i said, i'm going on a date tonight. a date. with someone. someone really hot. "

sage couldn't sleep, it was late, she didn't want to bother anyone. so she headed down to the outside pool to swim and she found the other, "hey. you couldn't sleep either huh?".

' i'm well aware that she's my friend . . . ' she begins , pushing herself off of the wall as she looks at them . ' as are you , so if you're so worried why are you here ? '

"yeah, we, uh... we actually hung out once. it was a super long time ago, though, so no biggie if you don't remember it." forces out an awkward laugh, pressing the solo cup filled with god knows what to her lips. if there is a better way to say 'we hooked up in college and now you're dating my brother,' alice isn't able to think of it. / @kingdomsbed
