    Summary

    "She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.

    "We're two friends having dinner."

    "At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."

    "It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."

    "You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."

    "That's not a date, that's paying attention."

    "Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.

    --

    More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

    “Are you done?” he asks.

    “Yes.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “…Yes.”

    Nigel nods. Says, very mildly, to the wall and not to her: “You have spent half an hour telling me why he is wrong for her; and not once have you told me who you think would be right.”

    She opens her mouth.

    She closes it.

    A small, traitorous thought slips in sideways before she can shut the door on it. She shuts the door on it.

    -

    Or the one where Emily and Andrea are friends. Great friends. Best friends. Just friends.

    So why the fuck does Andrea want to pull her hair out at the thought of Emily having a boyfriend?

    Summary

    “You okay?” Andy whispers while pulling carefully, opening up Emily’s chest and directing her arm straighter.

    “No,” Emily whispers back through a straining jaw, “this is terrible and I hate it and you.”

    “But we’ve only just met,” Andy murmurs with a wide smile. Emily sees it sideways.

    “And this is a horrible first impression,” she whispers, broken at the end by a pained groan she attempts to muffle into her shoulder.

    or

    Emily tries hot yoga. She hates it. It's the best thing she's ever done.

    But then, one day—

    "It's okay," she breathes against Emily's mouth, three fingers deep inside her, and laces their hands together. "It's okay, baby, you're doing so good. You're perfect."

    She feels Emily clenching harder against her, moving desperately until it becomes completely uncoordinated, and hears her whimper softly as she comes.

    And oh, Andy thinks. That's certainly interesting.

    OR

    Andy founds out Emily has a praise kink.

    “Mom! Mommy! This is Miss Sachs!”

    Emily stops in place, frowning.

    “Well, where is-”

    Then, a woman rises from behind the pile of folders.

    “…she.”

    Oh. Well. There she is.

    or

    Emily meets Bronwyn's teacher with no untoward personal reaction whatsoever. And again. And again. And again.
