After they left Violet’s building, the two women hopped on another street car that took them further downtown to the train station. There, Violet and Amy were able to double-check the route and purchase tickets without any fuss. And, in anticipation of what was to come, they even went so far as to buy tickets for a return trip. One extra for Taylor, of course. The departure was for the day after they planned to retrieve her so they would need to find accommodations while they were there, but that…-

Amy woke up the next morning with her heart full of warmth and a big, dumb smile on her face. Both of which were caused by the woman lying next to her in bed and the touch they still shared. By now, even the normally cool metal of Violet's arms was warm where they wrapped around Amy in a protective embrace. And when she turned over, she was surprised to see Violet's eyes were closed. Was she still sleeping? Well, that was a first! She must have been tired following yesterday's activities. And, even though…

The food was delicious, the wine was sweet, and both made for a truly excellent meal. However, the true star of the evening was Amy's laughter and the way her eyes lit up behind her glasses. Or the flush to her cheeks, which may have been partially thanks to the drink. Just enough to make her smile wider and laughter flow easier, and for her hand to reach out across the table until it found Violet's. And even if she couldn't feel the warmth, Violet could see it in her love's stare and the way her thumb…

The stew at the little restaurant Amy and Violet went to ended up being delicious and warmed her nicely against the cool air of the night. When the two women returned to their room, they opted to get ready for bed rather quickly and climb under the blankets with little fuss. Of course, they took turns brushing each other’s hair after a long day out and Amy took extra care to ensure to untangle Violet’s braids before finally laying the brush on the nightstand next to the bed. “Thank you,” Violet…

"How do I be seductive?" Violet's question clearly caught Cattleya off guard, causing her to nearly choke on the coffee she was currently sipping. A coughing fit soon followed, drawing the attention of some of the other patrons around them. It was probably a good thing that the reaction to the question, rather than the question itself, did so. Otherwise, they might have requested their check sooner than intended. "What?" Cattleya finally asked after clearing her throat and using a napkin to wipe away the…

In the end, it didn’t take long for Violet to calm the staff member who came to check on the commotion following the reunion of Amy and Taylor. A reunion that filled Violet with a warmth that burned as brightly as the affection she felt for her friend, her *girlfriend* (to borrow the word from Amy herself). However, before the two made their way inside the orphanage, Violet spared one last glance at where Amy and Taylor stood still locked in an embrace. Though it pained her to leave their side, Violet…

When Amy awoke the next morning, it was to the warmth of Violet’s body. And, after a slight tilt of her head up, she found those bright blue eyes staring down at her. “You’ll always wake up before me, won’t you?” Amy asked, a giggle following her words before she turned her head and settled back into the crook in Violet’s neck. “Most likely,” Violet admitted with a smile. “But that’s okay, I like watching you sleep.” “You do?” “Of course, you look so peaceful.” Peaceful.…

Now that I was on top, I wasted no time leaning forward and placing a kiss on Violet’s shoulder in the start of a trail. However, I didn’t have the patience to continue the line and soon raised my face until I brushed her cheek with my nose. It continued to trace along her skin until it was just under her earlobe. At which point I captured it with my lips. After a soft bite, it slipped free, and I exhaled over the wet skin. “Can I tell you something?” Violet didn’t answer, but I could feel the…

Days soon turned into a week and one week into two. All the while, Amy steadily improved to the point that Violet was able to take her on walks in a wheelchair and then actual walks without. Not anywhere far, just down outside of the main lobby and into the small garden that surrounded the entrance. However, the way Amy’s face lit up every time made the journey more than worth it. Their routine continued much the same it had since they first arrived, Violet handled most of the chores that didn’t…

“Aw, do you really need to stay covered?” My words trailed after Violet as we made our way into the bedroom. Her towel matched my mine where it sat, covering her torso and the upper part of her thighs. The bath had been lovely, of course. A nice way to relax and talk after she’d returned home earlier today. However, it was very hard to keep myself under control while sitting across from her, even harder to maintain eye contact. Still, I managed to behave myself. Mostly, anyway. Now that we were in…

"How could you do this to me!?" Isabella winced as her father yelled again. His face had contorted from the normal, jovial expression he perpetually wore to one filled with rage. One she always knew was roiling beneath the surface and one she'd hoped not to provoke. So much for that. The sight of it caused her to avert her eyes, preferring to let them fall toward the floor instead. Her hands came to rest in her lap where she sat at her table, whereupon they grasped and played with each other to try and…

Amy looked down at the letter in Violet’s hand and then back up to her face. She was really here right now, wasn't she? In this hospital with a letter that looked crinkled around the edges like it was written some time ago. What did it say? What did Violet write that she could only now share? Was it…? No, it couldn’t be. Those kinds of things only happened in Amy’s books, not to a woman like her. While her mind raced to figure out what it might contain, Amy reached out and took the letter from…

Violet didn’t know how long she worked on Amy’s letter. The morning hours seem to pass in the blink of an eye and more than one cup of coffee was brought over by Peony. It wasn’t until lunch was nearly served that she held up her final draft, a completed letter to Amy telling her what Violet felt in her heart. In her first attempt, she tried to apologize and explain it away, hoping that Amy would continue writing her no matter what. However, by the end, that part was gone. This was how Violet felt,…

How many weeks had it been now without a letter? Almost three? The lack of response to Violet's last was unnerving, to say the least, and it distracted the doll like nothing had before. It was hard to sleep, hard to eat, hard to work since her eyes were almost permanently affixed to the door of their little office, willing for someone to come through. At this particular moment, Violet sat in her cubicle in front of her typewriter, arms crossed and keys silent until she stirred when Cattleya popped into…

Unfortunately, no matter how much Violet wanted Amy's successes to continue, the reality of her need to be in the hospital remained. The same night that President and Cattleya came to meet her, Amy's fits wouldn't stop coming. The first one hit after dinner and Violet figured it was due to the excitement of the day. Even if the two had only been here for a few minutes, emotions were certainly heightened after getting to meet them. Heightened in an already stressful situation. The second fit started just…

"Violet?" Hearing Cattleya call out her name caused Violet to look up from where she sat in front of her typewriter, alone in her workspace. "Yes?" "Claudia has your next assignment, could you come to his office with me, please?" Another assignment? One that required a discussion with President Hodgins? So, it would be more involved than her typical work, either taking her far away or she would be writing for someone with a higher profile. Violet hoped it was the latter so her letters to Amy wouldn’t…
