    Summary

    “Technically,” Eloise says, all jittery and delighted, her sweaty hand clutching Penelope tight. “It’s a curtain pole, so you might have to use your imagination a bit.”

    She follows Eloise’s pointed finger and sees it – a big, wooden pole wedged into the family’s perfectly manicured lawn; the rainbow of ribbons fluttering in the soft breeze, looped like a crown about the top.

    “What is all this?” She blinks at everything slowly, wonders if it’s some ridiculous mirage cooked up by her wanting mind.

    “You’re going to be our May Queen, of course,” Eloise says, twisting Penelope into a clumsy spin. “Colin has set the entire thing up. Isn’t it fun?”

    Summary

    "Everyone has their unrequited love story, yeah? My best friend, she had a brother. Well, she had four brothers, but there was one in particular. He was like the sun… and I—I was constantly pulled into his orbit."

    It was a throwaway line in a throwaway interview that nobody was meant to read.

    A story about missed connections and growing older and what happens when you finally stop running.

    Summary

    Colin wakes up in a private memory wipe clinic with what feels like his whole life. There's no gaping holes, nothing that doesn't make sense. He has no idea what he couldn't bear to remember. It's a mystery.

    But after he meets a beautiful, fascinating woman in the recovery room, maybe he doesn't care anymore.

    Summary

    “Can we be closer?”

    “How much closer?” His eyes, blue and dark and watching her so intently, make her feel too vulnerable. But she might start crawling up the walls if she can’t get a handle on this, and that makes her braver than she ever thought she would be. She shifts, rocking her hips forward, watching his response, the way his mouth parts with a sigh and his fingers tighten against her hips. “You want me inside you?”

     

    She knows she’s blushing; she wilts against him. Her tits press into his chest and his breath is hot along her jaw when she leans in and drags her nose along his temple. “I’ll be so still, so good,” she whispers, a barely-there plea for him to anchor her somehow. “Like maybe,” she explains, “if you fill me up, I won’t have any room to think about anything else.”

    or; friends help friends
