    Summary

    Vi rolled her eyes slightly, shrugging and still refusing to meet her sister’s gaze. “Right. So you find me a date that doesn’t know what I look like, I go out with her looking… less hot, and then if she sticks around that proves she likes me for my great personality.”

     

    With a slightly screwed up expression that meant she was about to argue back, Caitlyn sat back in her seat and crossed her arms again, giving a little shrug.

    “Fine. I’ll give it a shot. You set me up with a woman who doesn’t know who I am, and I’ll give it a fair try. See if my horrid personality doesn’t scare her away.”

     

    Believing they keep attracting shallow dates, Vi and Caitlyn separately agree to go ‘undercover’ for their next one, hiding parts of themselves. When they’re unknowingly set up with each other, they both struggle between wanting to being authentic and wanting to stubbornly prove a point, as they’re forced to rely on their personalities to make the relationship work.

    A romcom loosely inspired by ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’

    Summary

    “Caitlyn.”

    Oh,” Jinx says knowingly, glancing Vi’s way out of the corner of her eye. “That’s the, uh, the cop girl, right? Maddie’s ex?”

    A chorus of mutters and nods is the response.

    “I’m being warned about her,” Vi tells her sister and Jinx blows her bangs out of her face.

    “Good,” she says, almost snappishly. “Yeah, don’t date cop girl. You should date someone cool.”

    “I’m not going to date anyone, not for a while. I need to get back on my feet first,” says Vi, drumming her fingers against the condensation of the glass. Thinking of Cupcake in her contacts, and that teasing smile.

    Everything in Vi’s life right now is starting over. She’s spending the holidays on her sister’s pull-out futon, trying to make sense of the avalanche of changes, salvage what’s left of her family and figure out what she’s going to do next. The last thing she expects to do is include the beautiful woman she runs into on her first day in town, or this Caitlyn that everyone’s warning her to stay away from.

    Summary

    It’s a woman, dressed in enforcer blues with a rifle in her hands, a cut on her cheek and the blood smeared from it still drying. Her long hair’s a mess, and she pats it away from her face, looking at Vi like…

    Like she knows her.

    Something is happening and Vi keeps waking up to it, again and again, and again.
