Jamie cracks an albeit sardonic chuckle. “S’gonna sound silly, now.”
Dani tilts her head like a confused puppy dog. “What?”
“You,” Jamie waves a hand in the air, “made this big show of trust and all. If I say what it is now, it’ll sound silly.”
“Jamie—”

“I don’t know how to do this.”
“Do what?”
“Talk. To people.”

Summary
She’s looking over at a potted fern, thinking how perfect it would be for her desk, when a woman in denim overalls emerges from the back.
She’s pretty, and oddly familiar in a way Dani can’t quite conceptualise - she knows she’s never met this woman before, but something in her eyes feels like she’s known her forever. Curly brown hair, eyes she can’t quite pinpoint the colour of - green, blue, hazel, grey, they seem to contain everything. A casual kind of swagger to her and her hands in her pockets as she sizes Dani up, and Dani feels something long-forgotten tugging in her stomach.
Viola is gorgeous. Perdita is gorgeous. Hannah is gorgeous. This woman is something else entirely.
