“that doesn’t answer my question now, does it?” maitê wasn’t surprised by the senior’s inability to give her a proper response, based on the simple fact that she was talking to esther goodwin. that alone warranted an explanation on its own. she smirked at the other femme, raising a perfectly manicured eyebrow. “so, i’ll ask again.” this time, she bit her lip deliberately, keeping her eyes on esther as she spoke, “what would you have done if i had said yes, emerald?” there it was. the ammunition she’d been saving for a rainy day, a detail about esther she should’ve probably forgotten yet had stayed in her memory.
esther was taken aback by maitê remembering her middle name, considering she was pretty sure the other hated her mostly. she blinked, “what would i have done?” she repeated the question slowly, trying not to seem completely flustered by the other woman, “that’s a dumb question,” she told her, “because, based on what i know about you, if you said yes... you would call the shots. and, so, you would tell me what to do.” esther knew maitê liked control- esther did not- and she knew a little about her sexual history. so, esther was pretty confident that her answer was correct. of course, she was sure maitê would find some sort of fault with it.
