    Summary

    When a car accident takes away not only her wife, but her hopes of building a family, Caitlyn decides to leave behind her hometown to move back in with her college roommate Powder Lanes. The friendship the two have quickly becomes the only thing keeping Caitlyn from giving up on life completely.

    After nearly dying while deployed, Vi returns home to South Carolina after finding out the love of her life was seeing someone else. Though her mother is thrilled, her sister is less than pleased to see the return of the sister she believes abandoned her.

    Eventually Caitlyn and Vi end up meeting at Powder's engagement party and form a trauma bond which they believe is meant to be nothing more than a friendship of understanding. Yet as they begin to spend more and more time together, something deeper beneath the surface begins to form. Will they allow their relationship to develop into something more or will they both hold on to their fear of life taking away the things and people that matter most to them?

    Summary

    Vi rolled her eyes as Caitlyn followed her into the bathroom, whirling on her the second the door closed.

    “What the fuck is your deal? Thought it might be fun to slum it for the night with the gutter trash who rescued you out there? You’re welcome, by the way.”

    “No, I–” Caitlyn made a noise of frustration, face scrunching up, and then she was really fuckin’ close.

    Vi held her breath, not wanting to break the weird fucking moment.

    “You’re infuriating,” Caitlyn breathed, and Vi tried - and failed - not to shiver when warm breath ghosted over her lips.

    “Yeah, well–” Vi started to snark back…and then Vi’s night was officially the weirdest she’d had in a while, because Caitlyn Kiramman, conservative politician’s daughter, was kissing her like she was fucking starving and Vi was an all-you-can-eat buffet in the desert.

    While this follows Lovers, Hunters and Friends and Enemies, it is not required reading for this story, although I would love it if you read both :)
