Summary
“And also, may I have a– um,” Gwen faltered as the barista paused, staring expectantly. You’re twenty-nine years old, Gwendolyn. You can buy your coworker a coffee. “May I have a cappuccino as well, please?”
"And what’s the name?”

Or, Gwen does something she didn't plan to do.

Summary
Gwen couldn’t remember the last time she was out of her apartment for something other than work. For the past couple of weeks, she’d followed her schedule even more strictly than usual: eat something quick at 8:30 PM, walk to work, do her job from 9:00 to 5:00, walk home, then catch a few hours of sleep. Or at least, she had tried to. As she shot awake in a cold sweat, no matter how many lights she had left on, Gwen couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched.

Summary
If there was one thing she could remove from her workplace environment, Gwen would choose Alice Dyer. Not just because of her complete lack of work ethic, or her blatant disregard for authority, or her absolute refusal to refill the coffee pot. No, there was also her being the constant walking headache that she was.

Summary
It's been pretty easy for Gwen to hide the tattoo she got from Ink5oul, until now. There's a heatwave with no AC, and Gwen is the only one in the office with long sleeves. To Gwens dismay, Alice notices and is concerned.

Summary
She discovers she doesn't wish to inspect the feeling closer, fears the clarity that will invade her brain uninvited if she does. Alice blinks and looks away, leaving Gwen to stare at the wall over her head in mute perplexity, cradling something newborn and raw in arms too tired to support its weight.
She misses a time before this strange new normal, a time when I hate you wasn't just as true as I want you to look at me.
or
Complicated feelings about white dresses, mothers, and that one coworker you swore you hated.

Summary
Sam and Celia bail on Alice, who is very much still trapped filing cases in a dingy basement, and whose usual banter with Gwen takes a turn for the weird.

Summary
‘Er. Actually.’ she said, regaining her grip on the money. ‘Could I get something else?’
This rewarded her with – well, it wasn’t the hate-filled stare she had expected, but – a slight curl of the lip from the worker as they silently returned to the register.
‘So scratch the mocha?’
‘No, keep it, just…’ Gwen frowned, examining the laminated menu on the counter in front of her. ‘Could I also get… a, uh, regular… large, actually, a large…’
Large what? What was safe?
‘Latte.’ she decided. ‘Double shot. No sugar, please.’ Were all of those things just how the coffee was made by default anyway? Was she rambling right now? ‘And to take away, too. Thank you.’
‘Name?’
‘It’s for Al- oh, you mean, uh. Gwen.’
