ALEX.

         She took a breath to answer, but she hesitated. She meant tell her about how much letting her be a part of the twins’ lives meant to her, about how much she cherished the gentle genuineness of their relationship, the reciprocity of their trust, the organic nature of their dynamic. But no matter how much she trusted her, how comfortable she felt around her, these were things she felt, not things she said out loud. Parted lips pursed together, twisted into a smirk, and hazel eyes twinkled with a spark of jest. “For the wine you’re about to share with me,” she said instead. “You owe me after dodging the whole kissing question bullet. You and your whole ‘I know nothing about kissing act’ really put me on the spot.” A stifled chuckle as she attempted not disturb the girls.

         She waits, and then a soft, airy laughter falls from her lips when she gets her answer. Wine was practically a ritual after a long day with the kids — something to help her unwind. Sharing those moments with Alex whenever she was over was always something she looked forward to, as she is now. “I owe you nothing.” she retorts lightheartedly as she leads the way back to her living room, only walking ahead of Alex by an inch. “They were asking you and you tried to put it on me. Which… I wasn’t going to let you because I don’t think I would’ve been able to answer any of that as eloquently as you did.” A smile pulls at her lips at the admission, and she turns to look at her friend, teasing — “Some kisses are only for holidays… that was a good one.”
