    Summary

    A discreet chuckle catches her attention on the other side. The elusive sales attendant has moved. Madeline pushes herself on her tiptooes to study her between the displays. She’s a little older than most of her colleagues on the floor. She’s not old—God, no—but she looks old enough to be noticeable as such. Her copper hair is curled softly on her shoulders, her dark frames slip down her slightly hooked nose as she displays a considerable amount of effort to disappear behind a tower of fake serum bottles. She is the only person in the store who hasn’t looked over twice at her, or perhaps she has but hasn’t cared enough to show it. This annoys Madeline deeply.

    So it’s only natural that she should descend on her and plant herself on her heels before her.

    “Do I have to fuck someone to buy a lipstick here?”

    OR

    Forty-four year old declining diva meets thirty-five year old juggling-two-jobs nobody, and sometimes the woman who irritates you the most is the one who might fix you or, at least, help you.

    Summary

    She thinks about Ted. About him leaving and about his empty eyes when they spoke their goodbyes. She’s so worried about him. And she’s heartbroken that he’s leaving. That he won’t show up at her office in the mornings anymore. That he won’t be there to offer a consoling hand on her shoulder, if she needs it. That he won’t be there to spread the cheer that she knows he doesn’t always feel himself.

    -

    Or: Ted doesn’t go to Kansas. Instead, he goes to Rebecca.

    Summary

    Keeley reaches across the desk, covering Rebecca's hand with her own.

    "I hope he says yes. I do. For his sake, for yours and for this club. But I also think it'll be okay if he says no."

    Rebecca shakes her head. "How could it possibly be okay?"

    "Because then you can finally stop waiting.” 

    Keeley gives her hand a squeeze before letting go.

    "Rip off the Band-Aid, Rebecca. You've been wearing it for three years."

    Rebecca tries to get Ted out of Kansas City.

    Summary

    She clicked on the first website that appeared with a remarkable speed that has her drawing her finger back as if she’s been stung. But it’s too late and the website loads.

    Hundreds of videos color her screen but she has only one creator in mind. 

    “ReadyTeddy75.” She mouths as she types into the search bar and she clicks on 'Enter' once she’s done.

    Her screen lights up with a mustachioed man chopping up vegetables in his kitchen wearing an apron and nothing more.
