Robin stumbled down the stairs, the silver clutched tight in his fingers, dazed and quite sure he'd pushed his entire world off course. Only he hadn't the faintest clue whether he'd done the right thing, what right and wrong meant at all, or how the pieces might now fall.

Walk around town muttering the same words over and over again, and soon you start feeling like a parrot instead of a magician.

He hated this place. He loved it. He resented how it treated him.
He still wanted to be a part of it, because it felt so good to be a part of it to speak to its professors as an intellectual equal, to be in on the great game.

He was playing a dangerous game, he knew.
But he had to seek clarity.

A lie was not a lie if it was never uttered, questions that were never asked did not need answers.

Apart from scones, Robin's other great indulgence was novels.

Olivia squeezed her fingers and laughed. "We could've avoided this by talking about it. I'm going to blame your dirty mouth for distracting me." Margot's ears burned,and a laugh bubbled up past her lips.
"My bad?"

Olivia laughed. "Little monster?"
"She is," Margot said, snagging her Ben & Jerry's and carrying it over to the freezer. "The cat screams like a banshee. I swear, half the time she doesn't meow, she howls."

Knowing Brendon, he'd probably get it in his head that casual was a pit stop on the way to falling in love. He'd take it upon himself to play Cupid, to make their relationship into more.

The one thing she wasn't supposed to do, a line she wasn't supposed to cross, and what had she done? She'd taken a running leap and hurled herself over it, headfirst.

Margot's breathing slowed, and she lifted her head, her eyes opening a fraction. "Hi." Olivia smiled, heart floating up like a helium balloon, rising into her throat. "Hey."

Friends. Margot could totally do friends. She was great at doing friends. Oh, Jesus. Great at being friends.

Careful not to rip the paper, Margot unfolded the tiny origami envelope by pulling on the tucked flap. The paper gave easily, opening in her hand. Have a great day :) There was no doubt who it was from.

Clearly, whether Olivia was willing to admit it or not, she was in need of a place to stay and Margot... fuck her life... Margot had a spare room. All her friends knew she had a spare room. And as far as they also knew, she had no reason not to offer it up to Olivia...

"Olivia seems nice."
Great. Margot should've seen this coming: her friends - lovable bunch of nosy assholes that they were - giving her the third degree.

All the air left Margot's lungs in a punched-out exhale as soon as she locked eyes with the statuesque blond across the room.
Olivia Grant. Holy shit.

Warmth spread through Annie's chest, along with an overwhelming sense of rightness. Certainty. This was what she wanted.

He looks at you like you hung the moon.
Annie didn't know what she'd done to deserve anyone, but especially Brendon, looking at her like she was something special. But she was going to revel in it, enjoy it for as long as she could.

If the circumstances were different, maybe what she felt, what Brendon made her feel, would be a risk worth taking.
But they weren't. So.

This was something. They were something.
What that something was, she didn't have the slightest clue.

Maybe.
It mattered to him.
He just needed to show her that it did.

Annie sipped the Starbucks cinnamon dolce latte she'd purchased around the corner from Darcy's apartment and hovered her thumb over her keyboard, remembering what she'd told Darcy on the phone. Brendon makes a very cute tour guide. But that's it.

He grinned, dimples lashing. "Grab your keys. I'm going to introduce you to Seattle."
