Summary
She leans into him with enough force that he falls back onto his elbows, all her weight split between the palm splayed over his chest and the place where her legs part over his thigh. “You want me to be with him so bad? Then be him. Give him back.”

Summary
Cats clean their babies like this. He knows that because Petey told him about it, swore he’d seen a mother cat and all her babies in the storage closet one time. They lived behind the mops, and he’d just sat there and watched them all get cleaned one by one.
Mark had said bullshit, but he’d thought about it all day anyhow. A little soft thing, taking care of something even smaller. Even gentler. And the next time he went in the storage closet, he left some crushed potato chips on a post it, just in case they’d like to try.

Summary
Mark doesn’t hate his job, not really. It’s more of a comfortable apathy. The hours are shitty and the pay even more so, but it involves absolutely zero responsibility.

Summary
Helly stands up from her desk, feeling weak and shaky. She locks eyes with Mark, who isn’t doing much better. There’s a roaring in her ears as Milchick continues to talk, but she can’t focus on him. All she can focus on is Mark, and how sad and scared he looks. How she’s gotten so used to him, how she just realized she likes him, and how suddenly, thanks to his outie, she’s about to lose him forever.
---
When MDR finds out Mark S’s outie has tendered his resignation, they’ve got two weeks to do something about it. Unbeknownst to them, they might have some help on the outside, too.

Summary
“I bet you fifty bucks I can make you come in under ten minutes.”
It knocks a laugh out of her, she’ll give him that much. She lets the laugh turn into a scoff as she angles her face toward his. “Please. You don’t look like you have fifty dollars to give me when you lose.”
“I’m not going to lose.”
His eyes drop to her mouth, brief as the click of a lighter and every bit as searing. When his eyes return to hers, the air between them tightens.
“No way.”
“Why not?”
“It’s not going to happen.”
His grin flashes. “Give me eight.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” Helena croons, and there’s a condescending curl to the end of it she cannot resist. “I could spend eight minutes explaining why the answer is no, and that would be a far better use of both of our time.”
