Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

Abby stared at Kate longingly.

"Wanna go for beers after work?"

"Sure."

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

Abby tried to stay sober, so she could mean what she said, and remember it. Luckily, Kate followed her lead and they each stopped after their second bottle.

"Kate?"

"Yeah, Abby?" Nervously, Abby leaned over and pecked her companion on the lips. They both blushed, and Kate excused herself to the ladies room.


But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Abby left her alone for a few minutes, then entered the restroom herself. Kate was drying her hands, and flushed when Abby entered. Abby made to duck into a stall, but Kate followed her into the cramped space, locking the simple latch behind her.

"Abby, I'm not quite sure how-"

"Do you want to do this?"

"Well, but-"

"Kate, do you want to do this?"

"…Yes." At that one small word, Abby took the other woman's hand in her own, backed her up against the metal door, and captured her lips for a heated kiss.


I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?


What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Feeling a hand rubbing her back, Abby stepped away. She grinned as she saw her bright red lipstick smeared with Kate's more conservative dark pink. Kate moved closer, sliding her arms around Abby's waist and resting her head on the gothic shoulder. Abby set her chin on her friend's head, and they began to rock back and forth.


And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing like love to pull you up,
When you're laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me,

walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.

Hand-in-hand, they paid for their drinks and left the bar. A few guys watched, but Abby pretended not to notice. They walked the block a few times, and to Abby's surprise, Kate didn't look nervous. Instead of the apprehension expected, the brunette's face was blissfully carefree.


What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Abby backed Kate against the rough brick wall a few times, grinning when she felt hands slide into the back pockets of her pants. She rubbed Kate's arms, always stopping when the older woman wanted to. Deeming themselves too drunk, they hailed a cab, dropping Kate off first.

"See you at work tomorrow."

"Bye."


Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world.
