Another 100 word vignette by MldrItsMe that reads:
Theyโ€™re lying together โ€“ quiet, contemplative. Elliotโ€™s fingers on her back are lulling. His heartbeat under her ear is strong, maybe still a little fast. She smiles, eyes closed, and nuzzles a bit closer.
โ€œYโ€™okay?โ€ he asks. She likes the way it rumbles through his chest.
โ€œIโ€™m good,โ€ she murmurs. โ€œReally good.โ€
He squeezes her close. โ€œGood.โ€
Itโ€™s all so good. So very, deeply good.
She makes a sound: surprised, amused.
His voice is sleepy. โ€œWhat?โ€
She hums through a smile. โ€œStill canโ€™t believe itโ€™s real sometimes. Us. This.โ€
โ€œMmm.โ€ He kisses her forehead. โ€œYeah.โ€
โ€œLove you,โ€ she whispers.
โ€œLove you.โ€

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I hope you like it! My tiny focus group of me, my first husband, and my second husband (lol not all at the same time of course) all give it rave reviews. It's charming and funny and touching and all the best things a British show can be. And the community/setting is a major character.

having watched all of (the British) Doc Martin, when I saw the trailer for this I cringed and I said aloud "No! Just watch Doc Martin!!" That show is SO place-specific I am really skeptical about Americanizing it...

โ€œWhatโ€™s Noah gonna be for Halloween?โ€
Olivia scoffs. โ€œToo old and too cool. Thatโ€™s what heโ€™s gonna be.โ€
Elliot groans. โ€œNo, already?โ€
โ€œEl, heโ€™s fifteen.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s too old for candy?โ€
โ€œNot for candy. Just. Too old for public displays of enthusiasm.โ€
โ€œThought heโ€™s a theater kid. Donโ€™t they like dressing up?โ€
โ€œDance kid,โ€ she corrects him.
โ€œThatโ€™s different?โ€
She shoots him a look, eyebrow arched.
Elliot huffs a laugh. โ€œTake that as a yes.โ€
โ€œJust be glad he wasnโ€™t here to hear you say it.โ€ She grins ruefully.
His eyes gleam. โ€œNot the only reason Iโ€™m glad heโ€™s not here.โ€

She huffs. โ€œWorking, probably.โ€
โ€œGot your Sexy Sex Cop Police Captain costume all picked out?โ€
She rolls her eyes. โ€œIf you mean my black pants, black blouse, and black jacket โ€“ then yes.โ€
Elliot pulls her hand to his lips. โ€œDonโ€™t forget the black nails. I like these, by the way.โ€
Olivia lets herself smile. โ€œDid you see the little spiderwebs?โ€
โ€œI did,โ€ he says, kissing her palm. โ€œSexy.โ€
She laughs. โ€œSexy?โ€
โ€œSexy sex cop.โ€ He drops her hand and leans in for a kiss. โ€œWanna go read me my rights?โ€

prob best to call your nearest/preferred one and ask them what they specifically need or want. sometimes the cultural/demographic makeup of their clients or other factors affect over/undersupply at any given org...

That's a very strange way to spell "millions," NYT.

Another 100 word vignette by MldrItsMe that reads:
Bruno gives her an approving wink as he leaves for the day.
Griffin seems a little beside himself. Unsure, maybe, of what he should or shouldnโ€™t say.
Velasco, apparently relieved by his impending departure of the deference owed to a commanding officer, curses in Spanish and whistles when she emerges from the ladiesโ€™ room with bolder makeup, a passable up-do, and a fresh, low-cut, pink top.
Itโ€™s Curry, though, who โ€” smiling โ€” confronts the evidence.
โ€œHot date?โ€
Olivia imagines Elliot, probably already seated at their table. Tie removed, a few buttons undone, blue eyes twinkling at her.
She blushes. Nods. โ€œVery.โ€

Another 100 word vignette by MldrItsMe that reads:
It's a long night, sitting by Elliotโ€™s bedside, watching him just lie there. 
At least he's breathing on his own, Olivia tells herself. It could be worse.
But. He was hit by a truck.
It could certainly be better. 
Around two AM, she remembers the last time she saw him. Itโ€™s ridiculous how fast they went from โ€œour All Our Friends Are Dying eraโ€ to โ€” this.
For fuckโ€™s sake.
โ€œIt wasn't a dare,โ€ she grumbles at him.
By four AM, sheโ€™s dried her tears, and sheโ€™s bargaining.
โ€œYou have to wake up if you wanna hear me say it back.โ€

โ€œLove you. Night.โ€
The door closes, and with it, so does the opportunity.
To do the thing Oliviaโ€™s been psyching herself up to do for ages: to say it back.
Since Ohio, since the ornament โ€” since the compass. 
Since he left again and came back again. 
And again. 
And again.
Since Elliot was nearly stabbed, nearly shot, nearly blown up.
Since he was hit by a truck and took a nail to the gut.
Since Whelan. Rita. Bunny.
Joe Junior.
Now Cragen.

Elliot heads for the bar, and she watches him go.
She whispers it. 
Alone, cowardly. 
โ€œLove you too.โ€
