Summary
“I don’t like being at these things all too much.”
“Then why are you here?”
“Because if I don’t show up, more people talk.” Gigi’s tail scraped at the floor. “Why are you talking to me, you’re the most- most,” Gigi struggled to find a word that fit, “incredible person here.”
“That means a lot coming from someone who knows all the constellations and their stars.” Fauna’s eyes twinkled. “Those are much more impressive, in my opinion.”
“I don’t know all the stars.”
“I think you know enough of them.” Fauna’s cadence sounded like she was always on the verge of falling asleep, even when her eyes drilled through you with sharp and sparking alacrity. “And I don’t know any of them.”
“I have books,” Gigi offered again, but with steel slipped into her spine this time. She could not let nerves rob her of this. “I can send them over to you?”
“A book club.” Fauna smiled and she was beautiful even as the shadows of night slipped over her face like a mask. “I wouldn’t be opposed.”
“Well, I am posing.” And when Fauna laughed, Gigi felt like she’d finally said the right thing.
