Summary
“You must be Beatrice.”
Beatrice can’t hide the surprise on her face. She feels her eyebrows rise almost into her hairline, then realizes she probably resembles an oxygen starved fish, and forces her mouth shut and head to nod. She isn’t sure what it is about this woman that has rendered her momentarily speechless. Being lost for words isn’t typically what Beatrice is known for. She works in an environment that requires quick thinking and intelligence, but right now, simple cognitive processes evade her.
The woman smiles at her again, her teeth white and straight, and steps closer to hold out her hand.
“It’s really nice to finally meet you.” She says, eyes shining. “I’m Ava.”
//
or, Beatrice returns home after years away, and Ava is the new groundskeeper on the enormous Young estate.

Summary
“That’s the cat.” Beatrice said, noting the light brown coat and the mostly white fur on its belly and legs. “From the sign.”
Ava laughed a little, and Beatrice felt her mood lift at that sound. “Yeah, Halo’s the unofficial mascot now with the sign. Mother Superion is not happy about that, I’ll tell you.”
“Mother Superion?”
Ava pointed towards the corner on the left side of the back wall, where a majestic black cat sat on top of the shelves, surveying the whole cafe like a queen.
OR
Cafe AU, where Ava and the resident cats of the Cat’s Cradle Cafe charm their ways into Beatrice’s life, and maybe even her heart.

Summary
“She is just so… frustrating,” Beatrice had uttered, exasperation in her voice. “Maybe I am jealous that she is so friendly and just always on, you know and I-”
“You do know it’s not jealousy, right?” Mary had interrupted her, blocking Beatrice’s swift hits.
“What do you mean?”
“You like her, Beatrice,” Mary enunciated.

Summary
“Hey! You should get a tattoo.”
“Oh, no no. I don’t think I’d like it very much.” Beatrice says, shaking her head.
“The pain is nothing for most people, it’s just like an annoying prickly massage. I’m gentle, I promise.” Ava winks and laughs at Beatrice’s flush. The woman blushes a lot, and Ava doesn’t mind making it happen. Actually, it may be her new favorite thing.
Or
Beatrice is a florist with a past she’s tried desperately to run away from and Ava is (simp)ly a tattoo artist just trying to find someone to spend forever with. They meet when Ava's friends Shannon and Mary are in the midst of planning their wedding and need Ava to step in and help.
