Chapter Text
Twyla doesn't know why, but she's chasing after the Roses when they leave.
"Excuse me," she calls. "Alexis?"
"Yeah?" She turns, eyes narrowed. Twyla beckons her closer. "Sorry, what was your name?"
"Twyla." She smiles, lowering her voice. "It's not so bad here, I promise. And if you need anything, like a tour of the town or even just a friend... I'm here for you."
She can't entirely read the look in Alexis' eyes. "What're you doing tonight?"
Twyla blinks. "Hanging out with you?"
"Yeah." Alexis offers a crooked smile; Twyla feels it lodge in her chest. "See you tonight."
