“Oh please. The second I tell you I am going somewhere you get all defensive and ask me 18,000 questions.” Which was only partially true. Though she would always let him have his protective moments, both knew the truth.

If she ever needed him, truly, he was only a single literal thought away.

Instead she smacks his hand and grabs the plate before he can follow through with the threat. 

“Which one? But also, rude. Don’t talk about Avery like that.”

She took the offering gently. Rolling her eyes when she pulled away. As much as she didn’t like it, he was in fact, on the winning side of the petty argument. Chewing as she listened to him rattling off the plans for the day, nodding or scrunching up her nose in the proper places. Following the bacon with coffee she held up three fingers. 

“One, only you and I are awake before 7:15.” She started. Setting the cup down and adjusting so that she sat straighter in her seat, legs folded up in a criss-cross way for her own comfort. “Two, I thought we agreed that I was on side prep and cooking. And three, no one is going to want to eat anything if they don’t get breakfast. Besides I have the staff working on getting pastries done for the volunteers.” 

She did this every year for the last five years. Baked enough to feed Manhattan’s parade workers, soldiers both active and retired, police force and firefighters twice over. A great help when she had three sets of commercial ovens that were as tall as Andy, and twice his width. 

“Also, no one is getting to my building in under an hour unless they teleport.”

“Better than Beth,” he beams as he hands the card over to her, a brow raised daring her to challenge him. “And you’ll always be my girl.”

From this.

“Bragging. Is that what we’re choosing?” She snerked before reaching for her glass. Swallowing down what she drank from it he set it back and turned her attention to the laptop that had her current delivery order site up. ““Your personal nightmare maybe. Forever swimming in a sea of angst because I got away.”  She couldn’t help but smirk at him.Enjoying the normalcy of their teasing relationship. 

“besides we both know she is far cuter than either of us.”

Whether it was the smell of sweat, cologne and perfume,  combined with sweet alcohol, or if it was the amount of energy surrounding them the younger brunette could not say. But she let her sister by choice lead her to the heart of the club’s dance floor. Sliding between people of every kind. Twisting. Turning. Pushing back to stay connected with Beth. 

When they found the perfect place, both let the music whisk away their coherent thoughts and leave nothing but the thrumming vibrations of the bass beat in every cell of their bodies. It didn’t matter who was watching. Nothing did save for the freedom of expressing themselves through the tempo of their hearts. 

Eyes shone bright, grins being tossed to the other as they closed in, going back to back as they had always had one another’s. Supporting each other’s weight, yoga coming in handy in moments like this she followed Beth’s lead. 

Each moving being mirrored without seeing, but feeling in their bones. step for step, swaying in time, every hair flick, every jump, shimmy, and flex of muscle. They were in sync in a way that was unnatural yet exotic as the rhythm took hold. Notes casting their own spell over the women and keeping them in time. 

“Very cute.” The unasked for though filtered over the edge s of her mind.

“You’re just jealous Andy.” The message sent back and a lattice work of mental energy knitted to keep out unwanted guests, as she focused back on her partner in celebration. They turned to face each other, neither scared to come in closer. Rolling their bodies together then leaning back, hands clasped to keep the other from falling. She spun Beth. Switching her own footing to pull the older woman back into her. Only to flip halfway and be spun herself.

She knew there were the eyes of the table the Riley-Specters had reserved. Knew for certain one set was glaring holes into the back of her head. Another entranced by what they saw. Two conspiring to go out to meet the two and turn it into a four-way mash. the others not sure if they should keep their eye on Riley or watch the clear display of uninhibited boarding on inappropriate dancing.

“You are s-so cute trying t’tell me what to do.” Pulling her hand back she giggled turning to lean against Brian’s shoulder. She had gotten invited to the bar by Andy and so really this was all his fault. She had a day or so before she was forced to go back to the boring world of actually being a lawyer. But for now it was Friday, she was caseless and there had been promise of free booze. 

“You’re like, never happy..  why? S-smile more.” Jay may or may not have eaten before this. Not being the case, as thus would regret life later. “You should go dancin’ or summin, get laid, go fishing for lil’ fishies.” 

She looked around for their mutual friend, almost just now noticing that they were one person short of the party. 

“I think Andy’s dead…. I dun’see’im.”

“Are you sure this isn’t a bit overkill?” She’d been testing flow crowns for Beth when Andy surprised her with the Tiger Lily. Out of everyone he’d been one of the four people that knew it was her favorite one. 

“Careful, some people would think you’re going soft there old man.” Jay said taking the crown off carefully before pulling Andy into a tight hug.
