@AgentIgraine “Occasionally. It usually goes straight to god awful cramps and a slow decent into madness. Just like everyone else.”
Antoine gave half hearted shrug.
“So…this is my first human sleepover in a long while. Are we supposed to…braid each other’s hair? Pillow fight?”
@AgentIgraine The slight shift in Amelia’s tone was poignant. He knew what she was asking, without saying it aloud.

@AgentIgraine - in that towel like a gift. He allowed himself a moment to watch the trickle of water drip from her damp hair outline the shape of her jugular as it streamed down her collar bone.
