[the 'ships i want' meme]

from here:

► spies. they're undercover (either having to pose as a married couple or siblings) and things spark.
► something unhealthy. the two partners genuinely love each other but they're just really bad for each other.
► dealing with workahol. most of my characters love their jobs (to the point where if the option was available, they would marry them) and need to be dragged away.
► one-sided love. one's in love, the other's faking it.
► vampires.

"That's a start," Lily huffs, though she's smiling, green eyes dancing. "Next if we can get them at grown-up height, perhaps - I know you're taller than me, but there's no need to rub it in with tiny chairs."

"All the better for me," Abbie grins, offering a mostly amused but also slightly sarcastic lift of her eyebrows, "Because you know how much I like it when you have to stand on your tiptoes to kiss me. Why do you think I own so many pairs of heels?"

"I knew it!" Lily says, laughing, pushing Abbie gently in the arm before hooking their arms together. "At first I thought you got them because of how they made your legs look, but then I began to suspect the truth when I saw that grin one time after we kissed and I practically fell over, I had to stretch so much."

And with that, most of Abbie's remaining worries seem to melt away, and she's happy to keep as tight a grip as possible on Lily's arm, as if to make sure that they continue to keep as close as possible - not only today, but for a long, long time to come, as well. "I do like the way they make my legs look. But mostly, you're right, I do think you're incredibly cute when you have to reach for me."
