    Summary

    Kitty knows she should leave, go back to her room and catch up on some much needed sleep, stop invading Beth's private sanctuary even if the woman had never made her feel anything but welcome.

    Kitty sits down on the edge of the bed, telling herself it'll just be for a moment.

    or

    'Beth goes away for whatever reason and when she gets back late at night she finds Kitty sleeping in her bed.'

    Summary

    In retrospect, the fact that Yvonne refers to her husband as "this one," rather than his perfectly adequate name, may be a sign that her current marriage is just as doomed as the first.

    (Less obvious in its demise though; somewhere along the way perfectly contented parallel play became living fully separate lives, nominally under the same roof. No shouting matches, no name calling, just mutual disinterest.)

    "Have you got to get back home?" Jess asks, sitting down behind the bar across from her, taking a long pull of her drink, gone warm after too many fires put out and crises averted (or at least redirected).

    Yvonne had stayed longer than she meant to, talking with Jenny Lennocks to make sure the band's opportunity didn't slip away just because everyone else had suddenly disappeared in the chaos. She should have left quietly after Jenny did, sent a text later updating everyone.

    But she's still here, lingering at the bar like Cinderella, hoping for something to happen before the clock strikes midnight and magic disappears.

    or: Yvonne picking up Jess and kissing her on the cheek made my brain explode, here we are 12k words later (happy birthday ao3 user elainebarrish!!!)

    Summary

    Kitty’s told Beth a lot of stupid little lies under the guise of doing it for Beth’s own sake; 'it doesn’t have to mean anything' is the first she’s told with the hope that she herself would believe it. She’s already failed.

    Summary

    All those apps and utterly useless men and it turned out all she ever needed was Kitty Eckersley.

    Or; Kitty and Holly grow into something neither of them expected.
