"Looks like we're both in the same boat," she replied with a polite giggle. She glanced towards the shelf and spotted just the book she had come in for. "This one," she said as she held up a book titled One of Us is Next. "I just finished the first one and once I realized there was a sequel, I rushed down here to get my hands on it."

"Same," Isabelle responded easily. "Just finished a book so I needed to grab another," she explained before she glanced down at the novel in her hands. "I think it will be," she said with a soft smile. "Looks like it'll be a page turner," she told Phoebe. "What book are you on the hunt for?" she asked curiously.

Ruth Asawa - Untitled (S.453, Hanging, Three-Lobed, Three-Layered Continuous Form within a Form) at the Amon Carter Museum, in Ft. Worth, TX. The intricacies of this piece are so phenomenal. ❤️ "If you could take any artwork in the museum home, which one would it be? For me, this is it. Ruth Asawa's intricate wire forms convey a sense of weightlessness while casting mesmerizing shadows on the wall-I could look at them all day. The Carter acquired a set of prints by Asawa in 1965 but didn't have a signature "form within a form" hanging wire piece until 2019. Non-curatorial staff rarely know about an acquisition until it's final. I was in a meeting when someone casually mentioned a work by Asawa was in the building and up for acquisition. After the meeting I dashed into this gallery with two colleagues. The sculpture took my breath away. As we marveled over it, a visitor sidled up to hear our discussion. We asked the serious-looking visitor his thoughts. He got a glint in his eye, and his face lit up as he said, "What's not to love?" -ISABEL HEBERT Strategic Communications and Marketing Manager Art WORK" #fineart #museumday #fortworth #art #sculpture #breathtaking (at Amon Carter Museum of American Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRewOSqpG8P/?utm_medium=tumblr

Leave it to Phoebe to be the klutz on the dance floor. She really should have been paying more attention to the space around her, but the alcohol pumping through her had other plans. Her face turned into a sympathetic pout. "Are you sure? I can come with you and help if you need me to. I may even have an extra dress in my car if you need something else to change into." It had become a habit of hers to keep a spare outfit or two in the back of her car. It came in handy during emergencies, but its main purpose was simply because Phoebe usually preferred to change out of her work clothes if she had plans to go anywhere other than home after her shifts at the diner. Her brows furrowed and her head slightly tilted as her eyes swept the girl up and down. She didn't look familiar, but it was possible she may have been a customer she served at the diner, or just that she's crossed paths with her around town somewhere. "Have you been to Sunrise Diner lately?" she questioned.

At some point Isabelle found herself on the dance floor, rocking and swaying to the music as she nursed her third mimosa of the night. After one and a half, she was feeling a little buzzed. Now working on number three, she was lighter than air as she two-stepped in her heels, eyes closed as she just felt the music. She knew this was supposed to be single's mixer to meet people, but truthfully, she wasn't doing too bad on her own. That was until she suddenly felt wet. Opening her glassy eyes, Isabelle looked at the blonde perpetrator, then down at her white dress. "Oh," she said a little shocked. "It's fine, I can run to the bathroom and try to pat it out. It wasn't much," she said sweetly, before she looked up at the blonde once more. "Hey, you look familiar..."

[ajsldf]

"I can never say no to some late-night dessert," Phoebe agreed. Not to mention, there was just something about being drunk and going to a diner in the middle of the night for comfort food. Phoebe's head slightly tilted, wondering if the woman was about to say what she thought she was. She couldn't help the smile that took over her face at her admission. Phoebe's bottom lip caught in between her teeth, her eyes scanning the sheer beauty of the other woman. "It's not every day that I get to meet my subscribers in person. I wonder if they're all as gorgeous as you are." In the past when she had the occasional run-in with a fan, they were usually men that tried to hit on her or feel her up in some way. It was refreshing in so many ways to meet Isabelle.

"Maybe after this shindig is over we can head to the diner and grab some," Isabelle suggested easily, now craving the desert something serious. She could already taste the cool vanilla ice cream on her tongue. At the question, her blush deepened and she took a moment to decide rather she was going to admit it. Then she realized, it was already out there. So, she just said it. "I'm pretty sure I'm subscribed to you..." she whispered, leaning in slightly as she tucked hair behind her ear and looked around the restroom slowly hoping no one else was inside to hear them. Her brown eyes slowly returned to Phoebe and she couldn't help but to look the woman up and down now, taking in her soft curves.

[ajsldf]

Phoebe had only one book in mind when she walked into the store, but it never hurt to browse around a little bit more. It was always a nice surprise to run into a friendly face, especially Isabelle's. "I'm good. Just browsing around looking for the next book in the series I'm reading. How about you?" She nodded in the direction of the books the other woman was holding. "Reading anything interesting?"

Reading over the inside flap of the book Isabelle grew very interested. A mystery, a romance, and a suspense novel all in one? She was practically salivating as she began to flip through the pages, trying to see how many chapters there were only to realize that the chapters were out of order. "Oh," she whispered to herself, even more interested now. This was the same author who'd written We Were Liars and she'd learned that E. Lockhart never missed. This was a definitely purchase. With that solidified, she thought maybe she could grab one more as she felt she was going to fly through this read when she heard a familiar voice. Looking up slowly, Isabelle spotted the blonde and she beamed. "Hey Phoebe! How are you?"

[ajsldf]

Reading had always been a pastime that fluctuated with Phoebe. She would go from not touching a book for months, to suddenly being in the mood to read and being invested in some series. At the moment, it was the latter. She had just finished up One Of Us Is Lying and needed to get her hands on the sequel as soon as possible. Bookmarked seemed like her best bet at finding what she was looking for. As she searched the shelves her eyes spotted a familiar presence. "Hey you," she greeted with a bright smile.

who: open to all location: Bookmarked

The more Isabelle got acquainted with her new surroundings, the more confident she felt in venturing out into the world and today was no different as she walked into the bookstore. In her downtime, she was a bit of a reader, and she had just finished We Were Liars and needed something new to sink her teeth into. Inhaling the faint vanilla scent from the books, she let out a deep sigh as she found her way to the fiction section. She was a romance, mystery, sci-fi kind of girl, though she didn't mind the occasional celebrity biography as well. Studying the selection, she pulled out what looked to be promising, Genuine Fraud.

[ajsldf]

"Apple pie a la mode, an excellent choice if I say so myself." All this talk about food was starting to make her stomach growl. Especially since she was now craving a piece of the diner's apple pie. Phoebe was pulled from her thoughts of the diner's food as she noticed Isabelle's gaze locked on her. She was adamant about figuring out where she knew her from, while Phoebe already had the hint she knew exactly where she had seen her. Gauging from the blush and the giggle that escaped the other woman, she knew she was right. Though she chose to scrunch her brows together in confusion and asked, "and where is that?"

Nodding slowly Isabelle smiled. "I couldn't agree more. I love a simple ice cream sundae," she admitted, listening on as Phoebe told her about the pies. "Oh, maybe some apple pie a la mode," she thought aloud. Shifting in her heels, Isabelle bit her lip. The woman hadn't been to the bar, she hadn't been to the diner. Why did Phoebe look so damn familiar. She stared at the women for a bit longer before it clicked and a deep blush rose upon her tawny cheeks. "I know where I know you from," she said in almost a whisper before she giggled gently.

[ajsldf]

"I'm a classic ice cream sundae kinda girl," she stated. Some people may argue that her answer was boring or basic. But who could complain about ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry on top? "My second choice is definitely any of the pies we have. Apple and peach are the best, by far." She was happy to have met a friendly face who she could pal around with for the evening. "No, I haven't been to Daring Daiquiri in a while." Her face twisted in confusion as she racked her brain as to where else the woman may have known her from. For a brief second, the thought of the past videos she had made for adult websites or her current OnlyFans content could be where the woman knew her from. While she wasn't ashamed of it, it wasn't the topic she willingly wanted to bring up. Especially when in the presence of someone new. "Maybe we've just crossed paths around town before?" It seemed like a plausible explanation.

"I absolutely will," Isabelle smiled at the woman as she grabbed a paper towel and damped it under the sink. Leaning into the mirror a bit, she began to blot the area gently. "What desert do you suggest?" she was curious to know from someone that worked there. Leaning back, she tossed the paper towel in the trash before running her fingers through her hair, tucking some behind her ear as she turned to the woman. "Indeed I am Phoebe, I'm Isabelle," she said with a hum. "Moved here last month," she told the woman. "Have you been to the Daring Daiquiri lately? I bartend there and I swear, you look mad familiar," she squinted at Phoebe, trying to figure out why as she leaned against the counter.

[ajsldf]

She exhaled a sigh of relief, thankful that she hadn't ruined the woman's dress beyond repair. There were a few pieces of clothing she had stained with red wine in the past. No matter what cleaning hack she tried, nothing worked and she was forced to toss those pieces. "It would be my pleasure," Phoebe said with a growing grin as she looped her arm with the woman's and followed her lead. "You'll have to come when I'm scheduled so I can hook you up with a dessert on the house or something." It wasn't something she did often for customers, but she made the exception for her friends. And usually only when her boss wasn't around to catch her. Phoebe stepped in front of the other mirror, leaning in to check her make-up and fix her hair while she had the opportunity. She turned back around and leaned against the counter as she gazed down at the woman's dress. "I'm Phoebe. Are you new to town?"

Isabelle guided them through the busy crowd of people murmuring apologies along the way. "Never been to the Sunrise Diner," she admitted, "though I've heard it's pretty good. Maybe I should stop by one day," she hummed as she pushed the bathroom door open, pulling the fairer skinned woman along with her. "Maybe I've just seen you around town," Isabelle shrugged as she dropped the other woman's arm and moved to stand before the mirror, eyeing her dress further as she sat her glass down on the sink counter.

Nodding along, Isabelle chuckled, watching as Phoebe grabbed the book she was searching for. "Oh!" she said a little too loudly before she bit her lip and quieted down. "I heard that first one is really good. I need to add it to my collection," she admitted. "I know the plot twist is wild isn't it?"
