"Hi, it's Lily!"

"Oh, Lily! Wonderful to hear from you, I was just wondering what to do for three hours until an appointment. Would you like to come over to my room for a date in? I could use some cuddles."

"I'm... not really in a cuddly mood, Audrey."

"Are you saying you wanted something more than cuddles or something less than cuddles?"

"... oh, I don't know. I just... I wanted to see you, I don't know what for."

"Alright. Maybe come over and we can talk in person?"

"Yeah, I think I will."

"Room 30. See you soon."

"See you."

She cuddles up in bed to wait.

And soon there is a knock at the door!

She flops out of bed and goes and pulls the door open.

"Hey Lily!"

Lily looks back over her shoulder before coming in. She's wearing her black dress and picking at a thread on the hem. 

"Hello, Audrey." She sounds relieved.

Audrey closes the door behind her.

"You seem... distracted. Is something wrong?"

"Just my own nerves getting to me. You remember how we had that talk about bottoming?"

"Yeah, of course I do."

"I've been doing some therapy work since I saw you last on... control issues. It's... are we..." 

She trails off and sighs.

Audrey takes Lily's hand. "I was just at therapy a few minutes ago, myself. I know it's not easy. And if you want to talk about it, I'm here for you."

"... Are we girlfriends?"

"I'm not sure. I don't really... know you well enough, to be sure. But we're dating pretty seriously. And we're sexually compatible. So..."

"Would you like to be?"

"... I think I could try it."

"Okay. Can I dump some stuff on you? From my therapy?"

"Are you going to expect me to share my therapy back?"

"No, of course not."
