    Summary

    The warmth of the conversation fades, leaving behind just the quiet hum of the shop. At this point, Mira should politely excuse herself, thank Rumi for her time, and go back to the pounding music and beating heart of the bar next door, leaving Rumi alone with her work and her quiet once more.

    Instead, she says, "Since you're technically still open, could I get some flowers?"

    Rumi is hired as a florist for a rich businessman’s spring wedding. As part of the deal, she needs to decorate the bar next door for the afterparty, working with the pretty bar owner she’s been avoiding eye contact with since it opened. And, in Rumi’s professional opinion, delivering bouquets to Mira from a "mystery admirer" is not part of that deal.

    What Kind of Lesbian Are You? (Fun Quiz!)

    Mira snorted. How fun can something really be if you have to tell people that?

    She scrolled past it.

    Then scrolled back up.

    Her thumb hovered.

    What’s the harm if it’s just for fun, she told herself. Something to quiet the mind.

    She clicked.

    Summary

    It was ridiculous, seeing it in this environment, something soft and plush in a place that served expensive wine, but Mira had chosen it deliberately. Because Rumi loved teddy bears in a way she tried to pretend she didn’t, because Mira had seen the way Rumi’s fingers found the keychain in her bag when she was anxious, because Mira had stitched the first bear back together years ago and had never stopped thinking about what it meant.

    Or some of the Teddy Bears Mira gifted Rumi, and the one Rumi gifted Mira.

    Summary

    "We need to talk," Zoey announced, sweeping into the apartment without waiting for an invitation.

    "Hello to you too. Yes, you can come in. No, I'm not busy at all."

    Zoey ignored her, setting a velvet bag on the kitchen counter with the reverence usually reserved for holy relics. "The universe has spoken."

    "Oh good. What did it say this time? 'Stop letting your friend enable your chaotic gremlin behavior?'"

    "Close." Zoey pulled a small vial from the bag. The liquid inside was pink and seemed to shimmer in the light, though that might have just been glitter. Knowing Zoey, it was definitely glitter. "It said it's time to stop watching you pine over Mira like a Victorian maiden dying of consumption."

    Rumi dropped the shirt she was folding. "Excuse me?"

    "Valentine's Day is in just over a week." Zoey held up the vial like she was presenting evidence in court. "Maximum magical potency. The new moon falls on the fifteenth this year—perfect alignment. The stars are literally aligning for you, Rumi. I'm not going to let you waste this opportunity."

    "Zoey—"

    "I've brewed a love potion."

    Summary

    Her fingers clench the bottle, knuckles turning white as a bitter laugh leaves her lips, the heart she was sure had already turned to dust, cracking deeply. She grits out a hatred filled, “I fucking knew it.”

    It stings. Of course it stings - to know she was right all along. There was a tiny voice in the back of her head that thought maybe, just maybe she’d fucked it all up and overreacted. But this proves it, proves she was right.

    A bitter taste - thick like cotton - fills her mouth at the realisation that Rumi has moved on. She never loved Mira. Mira doesn’t deserve to have a family.
