    Summary

    Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)

    Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)

    And thus, the arrangement.

    Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

    Summary

    “I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.

    “I miss you, too.”

    After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)

    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people—and Elphaba wants to be closer to her.

    --
    After being girlfriends for a few months, Elphaba knows that touching Galinda is a comfort. She also knows that it makes her aware of parts of herself that have lain dormant the prior twenty years of her life—parts of her that she wouldn't mind exploring.

    Perhaps she still has something to learn. Something that Galinda can teach her.

    AKA

    The Exposure Therapy sequel that features much more kissing. And other stuff.
