Becca -- a Halloween-hating, awkward twenty-four-year-old -- is once again dreading the approach of fall when she's told that her best friend’s sister, Amy, is back in town. Amy is charismatic, smart, and successful, and Becca has been nursing feelings for her since high school, when they were on opposite ends of the social spectrum. Now that Amy’s come out as a lesbian, though, she’s theoretically within shot -- if only Becca can muster up the courage.
Unbeknownst to Becca, her best friend has already let Amy know she’s single. When Amy texts her, hoping to reconnect, Becca jumps at the chance to go to the local cafe with her. It’s not a date, she tells herself, but part of her suspects it is.
What follows is hours of reminiscing as they each bring up things the other has forgotten, or never knew in the first place. Will Becca be able to overcome her insecurity and follow up on her suspicions? Or will she let the opportunity slip through her fingers again?
Chapter 1: The Start of ThingsBecca had never liked the fall—unlike the Goth kids she ran with in high school, or the trendy hipsters she befriended in college, she never got on with the season. It was too cold and wet, the weather too gloomy and full of wind, and she hated the way the night crept in before six. The days were short and bitter, and they made her miserable. It didn’t help that orange was really not her colour. Of all the things she hated most about the fall, though, Halloween had to be the worst. It was tacky and expensive for people without kids, she thought, and she never felt good in any of the sexy nurse costumes her friends pressured her into. One year she’d gone to a party as a witch, green face paint and all, but even that had been less fun than she’d expected. Becc
