Anna had spent most of the evening re-reading Romeo and Juliet so that it fresh in her mind before she started teaching it her students next week. A sudden knock at her front door made her jump a little, but Anna got up, quickly pulling her messy hair into a bun before she answered the door. “Hi, it’s good to see you.” she said with a smile “Sorry my place’s a bit of a mess, I lost track of time and forgot to clean up.”

@ofthcnightt - Vee continued to shovel the red-velvet cake into her mouth, ignoring the crumbs falling down her chest. “Thank god I booked today off work, hey,” She grumbled slightly. “By the end of the night, I think I got through four bottles of wine, ten shots and I’m not entirely sure but I think there was a smidge of cocaine at one point.” She sat back a moment, giving herself a breather. Vee looked up at her friend. “You are such a blessing. Thank you so much for this cake. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

it wasn’t that micah was struggling with his gift. necessarily. he just had instantly regretted it when it came to getting the thing in his car. and then getting the thing out of his car. safe to say that a giant teddy bear was one of his less spectacular ideas, spurred on by a joke his mother had made when he asked her what to get the pint-sized blonde for her birthday. the teddy came bearing a gift card around his neck, wrapped up in the big red bow. it was for sephora, or something. he’d allowed his mother’s assistant to make the choice. in fact the whole gift decision was made in the back of a cabana with rain pouring down around them during one of his frequent trips home. the memory swirls around in his head as he struggles to get his arms around the thing and also approach brynn’s door. finally, he plops the thing down next to it, knocking briskly and then waiting, trying to fix his hair out of habit. 

“I’m probably going to end up like a crazy cat lady but I’m not all that mad about it.”

“I don’t really understand how that links in with your assignment.”

“hey – I was wondering . . . “ shirley popped another bit of candy cane into her mouth, giving it a hard suck before tucking it into her cheek to allow her to speak, “can we go get a Christmas tree? I need to find something cheap for my house. You know, so my siblings can have a tree.”
