Arizona tossed her keys on the table and slid into one of the booths at Joe’s. She took off her bag and coat and placed them on the seat beside her. With her chin resting in her hands, she sat for a long while just absorbing the numbing white noise.
Eventually, she stood and made her way to the bar. Joe was cleaning glasses and approached her ( Read more... )

 Arizona pressed her forehead against the cool metal of her locker and exhaled deeply. She entered the combination absentmindedly and pulled the door open; staring at the content of the small box did nothing to jog her memory as to why she’d opened it in the first place and she almost shut it again before finally remembering she needed her phone.

It was very exhausting. All this animosity and avoidance and general tension that had developed between the two ever since Arizona’s unexpected return wasn’t what Callie wanted. At all. She was determined that at Christmas, things would change. She had to do something to break the ice between them and since it was her behaviour, though not uncalled ( Read more... )

“Have you really never been before?!” Arizona yelled over the buzz that consumed the streets.

Callie shook her head as she dodged a recklessly waving flag and chuckled as she grabbed Arizona’s hand for guidance through the crowds.

“No,” she confirmed. “I went to one in New York with my buddy from med school when he was just coming out and it was ( Read more... )

Like a thick fog rolling slowly from the sea, fatigue settled heavily across Arizona’s chest and weighed her eyelids almost to closing. It was too much for coherent thought to be generated but her emotions were undeterred and remained razor sharp. She felt the couch beside her sink under the weight of her girlfriend and fought to open her eyes ( Read more... )

They had been sitting at the counter sipping wine and discussing differential diagnoses for almost an hour when Arizona sighed and rested her head dejectedly in her hand. Callie watched her, her eyes narrowing briefly in concern, before hopping from her stool and stepping closer. Her hand ran the length of Arizona’s back and she rested her chin on ( Read more... )

ARIZONA: I ensure she’s completely exhausted and satisfied before I lay still beside her. She’s drifting on the high of that last shattering release and I know she’ll barely be able to open her eyes now, let alone talk to me. She’s so beautiful; in all her imperfections she’s flawless to me and despite the lump that now, inevitably, rises to my ( Read more... )

CALLIE: She’s running more lately. I know she loves it because she’s always banging on about how free she feels on the roads, how much calmer she feels after pounding the tarmac for a couple of hours. But at the moment it’s all the time, every night if she can, and it’s replacing how we used to talk. I watch her lace her trainers meticulously, the ( Read more... )
