    Summary

    Rio loved the Little Dribblers. Five-year-olds were surprisingly competent on the basketball court, and they were ridiculously cute. Coaching the team was also a fantastic ego boost. All of the kids and their parents adored Coach Rio. Barring Agatha, of course. But Rio had no self-preservation instinct and liked getting yelled at by pretty women, so it was fine.

    Agatha, on the other hand, hated the Little Dribblers. She wished she’d never signed her son up for the stupid basketball team. Agatha knew Nicky was the worst player on the team. That wasn’t the problem. She couldn’t care less about her son’s lack of athletic ability—he’d inherited it from her. The problem was Nicky’s new obsession with the coach of said basketball team—something he may have also inherited from her.

    OR: The one where Rio coaches Nicky's basketball team, and Agatha has to deal with the consequences.

    Summary

    "What did you think of the scene?"

    "The uh—" Rio coughs, "The intimate scene?"

    "The in—" Agatha's sigh cuts her off and her laugh enters Rio's space, "Can you not even say the word sex, Rio?"

    "I can—" Rio's ears feel hot, and she snatches the beer back, eyes finding the doorway, but there's no one there but them, "I can say sex."

    "Oh, can you?" Agatha presses in close until they're almost touching. Rio's not—she's not great with touch; she doesn't receive it much in any capacity. "Because to me, it sounded like you're nervous in the way someone who's never been touched is." Agatha's lips curl into a grin like she's already excited for her next words, and she gasps, over exaggerated, "Are you a virgin, Rio?"

    Summary

    She swallows hard, not even realizing where she is until Maddy’s surprised yelp sounds way closer than it should.

    “Rue, what the hell are you doing? Why are you outside my window at—” She looks at the clock on her vanity— “2:30 AM?”

    Maddy has a polka-dot robe on now, clutching the two sides closed to keep out the chilly night air.

    Rue has stepped onto Maddy’s lawn. In front of Maddy’s window. Where Maddy can definitely see her.

    Stupid.

    “Uh—” she starts, scrambling, “Fuck, I didn't—I mean, it wasn't—”

    Rue’s hands move in useless little gestures, like that might somehow explain things. Maddy just watches her, arms crossed, her mouth shaped suspiciously like a smile. She cuts Rue off before she can dig herself any deeper.

    “Rue.”

    “Yeah?”

    “Do you need a place to crash tonight?”

    When Rue accidentally ends up at Maddy’s house, comfort shows up wearing someone else’s perfume, and Rue pretends that doesn’t mean anything.
