I dunno, what is?

True, true. Just felt right saying it.

Is it THAT surprising?

What if I am?

OH—those. Yeah, I’ve heard of those…

I think I’ve heard of that, yeah. And that common name would be…?

No—I meant—verbal typo. You know how it is.

STRIKING!

I MEANT TO SAY STRIKING!!!

That’s…kinda ominous. But also stroking.

Though…they may have had a mutual connection through a shared contact recently. And even if Alicia did shed a certain role the previous night, the scent isn’t as easy to change. Not with the fragrances they wear.

Alicia was just minding her own business when she felt the hand on her back. Soft, gentle. Intentional.

As much as I hate to say yes, it kinda is sometimes.
