muse: cassiopeia “cass” lee, mid 20′s, polysexual. painter, cute and fun but kind of a mess.
plot: our muses are exes with a messy history, low key still in love but haven’t spoken in years. they go to a mutual friend’s wedding and somehow end up seated next to each other.
how were they the only person she knew at this table? she glares off in the distance, narrowing her eyes at the bride, whom she has decided is obviously to blame. she’s an old friend from college, someone cassiopeia loves dearly, but in this moment she hates her. she downs the champagne that’s meant for the toast, doing her best to ignore their presence despite them being right next to her. finally, she musters up the courage to turn to her ex with a smile that isn’t entirely forced. “look. i’m going to need you to talk me down, or i’m going to start thinking up conspiracy theories about how those two-” she gestures to the bride and groom. “are trying to get us back together.”
