    Summary

    Rio pulled the Debussy piece out of her folder and placed it on the music rack in front of Agatha. Leaning slightly forward, she came closer to her head and hair, strongly smelling of lavender and sandalwood. She cleared her throat and scratched her nose instead of inhaling it. “Go slow, no need to rush if you haven’t done this in a while,” Rio mumbled as she arranged the sheets. “Oh,” Agatha grinned, “I always go slow when I can Miss Vidal,” she replied and placed her hands on the keyboard, hitting the first notes with a surety Rio hadn’t expected.

    Summary

    “So you’re demoting me?”

    “Uh, I don’t think you were actually ever promoted.”

    “Technically.”

    “Agatha, you have to earn a promotion.”

    Agatha wets her lips, leans in close. Rio’s eyes track the movement before she has time to realize, and she has nowhere to go, back pressed against the many tins of chopped tomatoes on the shelf. She tries to keep a neutral expression. Unfazed. Possibly unsuccessfully.

    “So I’ll earn it.”

    OR

    Rio inherits her aunt's restaurant. Agatha makes the whole thing much more stressful than it should be.

    Summary

    More than once does Agatha put her hand on Rio’s right thigh, trying to catch up to where the song is, and it makes her skin prickle. She can’t remember ever being this physically close to her, arm against arm, legs touching, crouched over a book like teenage school girls.
    On a scale of 1 to 10 - how hideous is it to fall in love with a married woman?

    ----------OR----------
    Rio takes a job as Agatha's nanny and house keeper for the winter. What she doesn't anticipate, is how hard she will fall for her.

    Summary

    Rio clicked her pen shut, set her notebook down on the side table next to her and leaned forward in her seat, resting her elbows on her knees before speaking. “I want you both to know that this only works if you want it to work. I’m here to facilitate a productive conversation between you two. To find a way through whatever it is that you may be struggling with. There are no right or wrong answers here, no one is the hero or the villain. So, please, I need you both to contribute in order to move forward.” Rio’s eyes flickered between the women as she spoke.

    Wanda simply smiled and nodded.

    Agatha rolled her eyes and scoffed under her breath something similar to “fucking hell.”

    Rio had to hide her smirk. Oh this was gonna be fun.

    OR

    Rio is Agatha and Wanda's couples therapist and all three of them are lowkey bad people.

    Summary

    “She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”

    “Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.

    Or,

    Rio goes from IT service monkey to fucking her very beautiful, very poised boss in a very short period of time. And then, of course, there’s the aftermath.
