    Summary

    “You— You don’t even know me,” Caitlyn gasps into her phone, her grip white as she listens carefully to the deep exhale and inhale she can hear over the speakers, her lower lip going red beneath her teeth.

    “I know enough, you sound like you haven’t gotten any in a while.”

    “Excuse you—”

    “Hey. I don’t think you’re desperate. I think you’re needy. I’m into that.”

    Caitlyn swallows back a whimper. Barely.

    __

     
    Or that modern!au where Caitlyn’s an unsatisfied librarian who drunkenly dials an unknown number. A mysterious woman picks up and they have a candid (read: hot) chat. Said mysterious woman then shows up in her real life.

    It becomes a mess from there.

    Summary

    "Fuck, I'm sorry... I wasn’t watching where I was going," she said, realizing she had bumped into another girl, who had landed on her backside.

    Vi extended a hand to help, but received no reaction from the other girl, who silently got to her knees and began feeling around for something on the hospital's polished floor.

    ‘Oh shit. Fuck.’

    Vi dropped to her knees instantly, realizing she had just knocked over a blind woman.

    Summary

    “I always loved summer,” Caitlyn tells the young woman across from her, “because, in the summer, my parents and I made the trek out to our summer house in Zaun.”

    Caitlyn smiles as memories washed over her like the gentle waves on the lake - sandy feet, the county fair, ice cream smeared on her nose, the warmth of the sunburn that came from days spent lying on the dock.

    She looks out the window, watching the midday sun sparkle off a lake that was nearly untouched by the years and the memories.

    “Miss?”

    “Hmm?” Caitlyn says, turning toward the source of the gentle prompt. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. I’m afraid I became lost in thought.”

    The young woman nods kindly, and Caitlyn’s eyes sparkle as she continues, the expression seeming to smooth the lines on her face, fade the white from her hair. “I especially loved the summer after I turned seventeen. That was a special summer.”

    OR

    Caitlyn and Vi fell in love as teenagers, and then were separated for 10 years. Will the spark still be there when they're reunited?

    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman has spent her entire life under the crushing weight of high society expectations. As a rising lawyer from a wealthy Long Island family, she’s used to playing the part—until her mother demands she bring a “suitable” date to the Met Gala or face yet another arranged setup with one of New York’s elite bachelors. In a moment of defiance, Caitlyn blurts out a lie: she already has a girlfriend.

    Enter Vi—an underground MMA fighter from Manhattan who couldn’t care less about wealth, reputation, or Caitlyn’s perfectly controlled world. Desperate to sell the illusion, Caitlyn makes Vi an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be her girlfriend for six months, attend a few events, and collect a generous payout. Easy money.

    Except nothing is ever that easy.

    Between staged dates in Central Park, public kisses that feel a little too real, and Vi looking obscenely good in a tux at the Met, Caitlyn starts to wonder if maybe—just maybe—she’s in over her head. But when family interference and unspoken fears threaten to unravel everything, Caitlyn and Vi are left with one final question:

    Was it all just an act? Or was it real all along?
