Summary
Just another divorced-wives AU.
It’s been ten years since Agatha signed the papers on the life she and Rio were building, convincing herself it was the only way to let Rio chase the career she deserved.
Now they’re in the same room for the first time since the divorce, at a fiftieth birthday party, and Agatha is fighting a war between what she wants, what she’s terrified to admit, and what she still believes everybody else needs.

Summary
Rio stared at her quietly, slowly tapping her foot against the tiled floor. A wrinkle formed between her eyebrows from thinking about Agatha's predicament, and the lawyer sighed, waving her hand dismissively.
"Stop trying to find a solution to this. It will give you a stroke."
"Marry me," Agatha was glad she had finished her drink because she would spill it all over the bar at the words. She blinked to regain her composure, her mind scrambling for a teasing remark to fire back at Rio, but her tongue could only form one word.
"What?"
"I'm not a stranger from Craigslist, and I know probably most psychopaths would say that, but I'm not a psychopath. So, marry me."
---
Agatha learns about a clause in her mother's will that makes her unable to inherit Evanora's fortune unless she gets married by forty. While drowning her sorrows at a bar, she meets Rio, a PhD student working behind the bar to make ends meet, who proposes an insane solution to her problem. Or rather, proposes to Agatha.
Everything spirals out of control after that.- Language:

Summary
"She’s not my type," Agatha said firmly, crossing her arms.
Lilia raised an eyebrow, swirling her wine like a soap opera villain. "So you have a type? Do enlighten us."
Agatha groaned. "Fine. If you must know, I’m straight. And even if I wasn’t, Rio is at least ten years younger than me. I would never go there."
Cue Rio Vidal—Agatha’s insufferably smug, boundaryless neighbour—who has zero respect for personal space, steals her ice cream, wears her clothes, and now, apparently, needs a fake girlfriend for a work event.
Agatha should say no. She wants to say no. But somehow, she doesn’t.
Now she’s fake dating the most irritating woman alive, their friends are watching like it’s a spectator sport, and the walls between their apartments are very thin.
It’s fine. It’s fake. It’s strictly platonic.
…So why is Agatha’s stomach flipping every time Rio looks at her like that?
Or: Agatha insists she's straight, Rio insists on being a menace, and everyone else insists that there's a "vibe".
