    Summary

    “So, if I’m such a lost cause, why the hell are you here?”

    “Because I’m good at my job and I love a challenge.”

    “A congressional race is not the same as a presidential.”

    “I’ve managed races for congressmen, senators, governors.” She listed off breezily. “I’m interested in the big score.”

    “You wanna swing your dick around and show off?” Agatha scoffed.

    “Like you don’t.”

    Agatha leaned in now too, challenging her. “The difference is, I don’t need to wave mine around for everybody to know how big it is.”

    “Agatha,” She said, which was disrespectful given they’d only just met. “Let me run this campaign. I can make you someone America will want to vote for.”

    She finally pulled away, chuckling and sitting back down. “I don’t need you for that.”

    Summary

    Agatha couldn’t move. It was her, she was sure of it—the dancer from the club, on the night of the last day of school. A stripper was standing in her classroom, addressing her second-graders. A stripper who, until this very moment, had been filed neatly into the category of things Agatha would never think about again. (Except that one time, when she got too drunk on the Fourth of July. And that other time, when she got too drunk on the Seventh of July, which was just a normal Tuesday.) And yet here she was, in practical jeans and a black tee, looking every inch like a competent professional.

    Summary

    It started harmless enough. Like a game. One of their old ones.
    (...)
    Agatha smiled like a cat stretching out in a sunbeam. “So, answer a few things for me. Just for fun.” Agatha leaned in closer, the tips of their shoes brushing now. “Would you rather lose your sense of taste... or touch?”
    Suspicion flickered in Rio’s brow. “Taste,” she said slowly, “easily.”
    Agatha didn’t stop. “Have you ever lied to me?”
    Rio’s heart kicked against her ribs, almost loud enough to drown out the music. “…Yes,” she whispered.
    "Did you feel bad about it?”
    The question was gentler. Sadder, somehow. “Yes.”
    “Why do you lie then?”
    “I…” Rio faltered, blinked. “I don’t know. Fear, maybe.”
    “Do you think about kissing me?”
    Rio’s breath stuttered.
    “It’s okay,” Agatha murmured. “Why don’t you?” Another silence. This one louder. Agatha’s voice dropped to a whisper, low and dark and protective. “That’s okay. You don’t have to answer everything.”

    Summary

    Rio Vidal has had a bad couple of months. Her girlfriend of four years cheated on her and then promptly left her for some young thing, and her creative juices seem to have dried up completely. She has to deliver something to her publisher in the next six months, but inspiration has completely deserted her, just like stupid Carol.

    Then she receives a letter. And an inheritance from a grandmother she never even knew existed. In fucking Maine. But hey, her life already sucks, so maybe a trip to middle of nowhere Thistle Grove, Maine is exactly what she needs?

    Summary

    Rio clicked her pen shut, set her notebook down on the side table next to her and leaned forward in her seat, resting her elbows on her knees before speaking. “I want you both to know that this only works if you want it to work. I’m here to facilitate a productive conversation between you two. To find a way through whatever it is that you may be struggling with. There are no right or wrong answers here, no one is the hero or the villain. So, please, I need you both to contribute in order to move forward.” Rio’s eyes flickered between the women as she spoke.

    Wanda simply smiled and nodded.

    Agatha rolled her eyes and scoffed under her breath something similar to “fucking hell.”

    Rio had to hide her smirk. Oh this was gonna be fun.

    OR

    Rio is Agatha and Wanda's couples therapist and all three of them are lowkey bad people.
