Summary
Shelby is living the dream. Gorgeous husband, fuel-efficient car, the largest house in the cul-de-sac.
She lives the unremarkable days; the dreamless nights. Time stretches, condenses, circles in on itself. She shops at the better grocery store, files for dental insurance, and bears the burden of the choices she has made.
But when a familiar face comes back into town, Shelby finds her manicured life imploding.

Summary
Toni just wants a peaceful summer away from the messiness of Minnesota, and Shelby just needs something (someone) to fill the silence of the lonely Texas ranch.
It's about ignoring your problems, a very odd approach to therapy, embroidered cowboy hats, and doing whatever you can to keep your head above water.
(And everyone swears they're completely fine. Really.)

Summary
‘Surely Fatin will come find us, right?’ Shelby speaks evenly, trying to disguise her irritation. Toni has no such qualms.
‘Nah, no way. She’ll be too busy with her tongue down someone’s throat by now. Fuck, which means…’
The words feel almost too sour to say.
‘We’re stuck here for the evening,’ Shelby finishes for her. ‘Together.’It's about being locked in the basement, weed from California, and not seeing things that are right in front of you.

There is a desperation, a fervour, in this kiss. It’s loaded. Toni can feel it in the way Shelby’s hands shake as she brings them to Toni’s face, gripping her with such intensity that she’s worried she might collapse under the rawness of it all.
In which Toni and Shelby are inevitable.
