    Summary

    She should have never taken this job... Sure, it was... fine. The owner was... fine was not the right word and for all that is holy, why did she always have to stand so fucking close? Why did she have to be so... stupidly attractive?!

    Summary

    Harrow knows her relationship with Gideon has been rocky for a long long time. Ever since they were kids, Harrow avoided Gideon, Gideon would chase her, Harrow would lash out to make sure she stayed appropriately distant, rinse and repeat. They still had one thing in common though: they both killed on the ice. Harrow is a hobbyist ice skater, Gideon got a scholarship for her kickass hockey skills. Harrow briefly considers joining a small local ice skating competition, similar to the ones she did as a child, but decides she doesn't have time. That is, until Gideon forces her hand with a bet. Never one to back off from a challenge, Harrow agrees, and takes to the ice for real again for the first time in quite a few years. But why does Gideon even care so much?
    Harrow's sure it's nothing.

    College au but put these women on ice!!!

    Summary

    “You alright there, sweetcheeks?” the redhead asks slyly. She shifts forward on her sculpted forearms, intrigued. The sheer audacity is met only with Harrow’s dumbstruck expression.

    Harrow’s throat feels impossibly arid and tacky, almost to the point of pain. Rendered speechless by pseudo-eye contact. A slightly less overt invitation to banter might have involved fanfare and a formal inquiry written in script. Flirting is not a wholly unknown concept to her, but still daunting nevertheless, the beginning of a ten mile hike. The brief point of contact had been the first step. One, hopefully, that would be the beginning of many.

    Instead of embarking on the second step, Harrow turns on her heels and briskly exits the cafe.

     

    -
    In which Harrow finally seems be on the right path to make her life better and bagging Gideon.
