"Men? What men?"

@FACILEAMARE "Tell me as many stories about the bar as you like. As long as we're talking about anything else..." Could she be any more mortified? Valerie had totally lost her game.

@HiddenValiance “ most things are said stone cold sober unfortunately. i think blaming the vodka is fine. ”

@FACILEAMARE "Do you ever just want to sit on my face?" -she was very drunk-

She should be celebrating mother's day but her son's dead, her wife's dead and her daughter is probably dead too. "This sucks."

@FACILEAMARE "You have? Oh that's definitely worse. At least I can hide behind vodka."

@HiddenValiance “ it’s okay, i’ve had customers say far worse things to me. i almost admire the boldness. ”

@FACILEAMARE "Yeah, again, so sorry. Embarrassed myself completely." She grit her teeth.

@HiddenValiance “ it happens to the best of us. shocking thing to ask, but it’s okay. ” she tries to offer a sympathetic smile.

@FACILEAMARE She shook her head with embarrassment. "Too much to drink. Apologies."

@HiddenValiance brows raising in surprise, what a question. “ where’s this coming from? ”

@horriddarkness || trauma probably

-screws her nose up- we're only barely related. ew.

"You're not dropping out."

"Oh my god..." She groaned. "I'm too old for this."

@FACILEAMARE "Yeah, I didn't think I could either but it turns out I'm so emotionally numb it rarely gets to me." Clearly tonight was different, though. Valerie downed her G&T and ordered another. She ordered Lottie another martini as well, tapping her credit card. "How's your job going?"

@HiddenValiance lottie slipped into the bar first, making her way over to the nearest bartender and ordered an espresso martini. once her order is placed, her attention is back on valerie. “ i’m sorry. i don’t think i could handle the emotional impact of a job like that. ”

@FACILEAMARE "Let's get a drink."

@blondieLove_ -whisks her to somewhere a little more private-

@HiddenValiance [The blonde chuckled nervously as she dipped her head and began to kiss the brunette tenderly, wrapping an arm around her waist— and letting her free hand begin to fondle with her still covered breast, slightly moaning into her mouth as she pressed her body into Val’s.]

“VALERIE! Your brother is in BIG time trouble!” @HiddenValiance

@FACILEAMARE --to a broken system." Valerie ordered herself a gin and tonic. "I'm pretty sure my day was shittier than yours, but feel free to tell me otherwise."

@FACILEAMARE The women arrived at a local bar. It was nothing flash but it was well known and served a decent menu. Valerie opened the door for Lottie and followed her inside. "I'm not supposed to talk about my work but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to process another woman losing her kids--

@blondieLove_ Valerie's eyebrows shot upwards and she felt the heat rise into her cheeks. It had been a good six months since anyone had touched her. "Say no if I've missed the mark, but, would you show me?"

@HiddenValiance [A nervous chuckle emitted from her painted lips at Valerie’s question as she bit at her bottom lip even more, her cheeks completely flushing with color,,/!: all she could do was nod her head…]

@FACILEAMARE "You look like you need one," she stated plainly, reaching for her leather jacket and slipping it on. "I know I do."

@HiddenValiance “ yes, let’s do it! ”

"You need crutches or a wheelchair."

@blondieLove_ "I've thought about /us/ plenty of times. I can't stop thinking about us. Or the potential of us. I just figured you knew /nothing/ about what that meant." Her hands settled on Judy's waist, giving it a short, suggestive squeeze. "Do you know how to /do/ things?"

@HiddenValiance [Judy noticed her demeanor, and bit her bottom lip…] “I mean, no rush—- you can take your time thinking about /us/… I just feel…. A special connection to you….”
