Adam lit the last candle he had set up on the table and smiled at his handiwork. They'd had to miss celebrating on Valentine's Day and he genuinely didn't mind, but he'd also take any excuse to celebrate his love for Pete. So he had Kyle distract him for a few hours with some kind of home repair help while he set everything up. Pete's favorite restaurant didn't do take out on the weekends, so Adam spent the last few weeks secretly working on a recipe he found online that seemed decently close. He just wanted everything to go as close to perfectly as possible. He grinned when he heard the door opening and made his way from the table to the door to greet Pete. "Hey, baby, how was your day?"

@shakinthedust for jer 💕

“let me think about it,” she answers, pretending to mull it over. but it’s not long before the facade cracks and she’s grinning at him. “obviously i’m in.”

“Yeah, that’s something you can argue, but I think if you look at the genre as a whole, some of those issues are resolving. I mean, not to be that person, but think about how crazy it would have been for a Hispanic fantasy novelist to make it to the 100 charts at major book retailers just a few years ago, but when I did it, it was just a ‘hey good job’ type thing.”

[text: Tanner] hey tanner. this is lennon. i got your number from kennedy, i hope that’s okay. i was wondering if you wanted to get together sometime? [text: Tanner] sorry if that’s forward or i misread the vibe earlier today, but i thought you were flirting so i figured i’d take a chance. miss all the shots you don’t take or whatever, right?

@shakinthedust here’s a lil surprise for u and adrian

kinsleigh adjusts the coffees in her hands so she has one tucked into the crook of her arm instead and knocks on adrian’s door with her newly free hand. she waits nervously for him to answer. she’s never shown up at his place unplanned before but she was in the area and thought he might like the pick me up. she’s not looking to stay if he has plans, she just wants to see him for a minute, and she’s hoping that’s okay.

@shakinthedust if you want it!!

delphine is nervous when she gets to guy’s place. she’s gotten herself worked up and convinced that the invite was out of politeness more than actual invitation but she’s taken him up on it, so there’s no going back for either of them on it now. she takes a deep breath and gets out of the car, bottle of wine and flowers in hand, hauling ass to the door to knock before she loses all her nerve.
