    Summary

    “Beverly,” Ben said, tentatively. “Do you want…to talk about, I don’t know – where we’re going with this?” They were together in his bed, with little between them but the sheets.

    Beverly smiled to herself, amused by his shyness. “We're going someplace?” she teased, smirking a little. "Where? New York? Cali? Seattle? Ooh – Paris?”

    They kissed in Derry, but it turns out it's not as easy as all that. Beverly Marsh and Ben Hanscom attempt to figure it out, together.

    Summary

    Knock, knock. 
    “Who's there?”
    A recent divorcee out of a terrible, toxic marriage who needs a place to crash while their life and career fall to pieces.
    “A recent divorcee out of -”
    "Richie," there was a kick at the door. "Open the fucking door, it’s boiling out here!"
    Richie swung the door open to stare at the light of his life surrounded by bags of luggage.
    "Oh, Ms. Beverly Marsh, what a surprise." He southern-bells a Voice out, leaning against the doorway with a hand draped over his forehead. "Would it be so terribly improper to invite you in for a moment or two?"

    Summary

    “Thanks for kissing me out of it, by the way,” and Christ, it’s so casual, even as Ben is choking in the back of her throat, feeling scraped raw. To hear her affection so unceremoniously spoken of, like it’s not-quite-good, not-quite-bad, is somewhat of a revelation, but Bev saying it brings a strong bout of mortification, so intense it hurts. “Being in it for as long as I was fucked me up pretty bad, you know. I don’t know how much worse it would be if I was in it any longer.”

    Bev ducks from under Ben’s arm, scampering into the small kitchenette and flicking on the lights. The overhead fluorescents burn into the backs of Ben’s eyes; she flinches, cowering into the crease of her elbow.

    “It was all I could think of,” Ben admits, and cringes at how rough her voice sounds. “That’s what they do in the movies, right?"
    --
    Ben struggles with yearning, the same way she did as a child.
