Author's Note: 'Dracula' was a film from 1931, though Diane Neal (the actress who portrays Casey, was in Was Craven's Dracula II: Ascension).
Olivia saunters to the chair where Casey left her coat, while Casey goes to the bathroom to freshen up. As she turns from admiring the gorgeous coat, she finds her self face to face with Marquesa.
"Herrr?" drawls the fuming moll. "You abandoned me for her? Some obnoxiously forward redhead with the color taste of a dog?"
"Casey is incredibly beautiful, and she looks stunning in lime. I'll have you know, I love her quick tongue. Marquesa, some things just don't work out. Move on, and leave me alone."
"You'll regret this Olivia. No one ever dumps me, especially for a redhead. I'm a million times the woman she'll ever be."
Olivia spies Casey walking quickly from the women's room. She notes that Casey carefully showcases her allure in her strut, but hurries to steal Olivia from Marquesa.
"Go fuck yourself Marquesa; you're not getting any from me. I'd always choose Casey, no matter how hot you looked and how horribly her outfit clashed. To me, she's perfect. Now fuck off."
"Fine, have it your way," Marquesa replied venom practically oozing from her voice. "I'm sure you and Casey will be very happy," she said sardonically. With that she turned with a humph and strode out of the room.
"What was that all about?" asked Casey.
"Oh, nothing. Marquesa is just pissed about you and me. As you said earlier, all barkā¦" Olivia replies. "Come on, there's a bench with our name on it."
"I can't wait. But Olivia- I think you underestimate her."
"Ok Casey, but she's just another scorned woman."
Casey shakes her head, "Olivia, you've never had an ex-girlfriend who sees you with another woman, have you?"
The park is beautiful at dusk with the snow falling. The pond glitters as snow floats on the water, and the pond slowly freezes. Casey's incredibly stunning face is illuminated by the setting sun as they walk along the path to the bench overlooking the lake and the glowing hotel. They walk with Olivia encasing Casey her arms, their hands linked.
"So, what do you do for fun?" Casey asks.
"I love running. Anytime I'm angry at the world; or someone in particular; running helps. Sometimes, it's like every thud is like a punch. Sorry, that's a little bitter... I don't know, I love talking to my friends over drinks. I love horror films, like 'Dracula', and some of the action and romance ones. And I adore dating dashing women," Olivia responds with a smile.
"I see" Casey says with a laugh as she turns her face towards Olivia and kisses her.
"How about you?" Casey asks.
"I enjoy beating all the guys at softball, outsmarting naive lawyers in Court, and seducing detectives." Casey replies.
"Are you sure you're doing that last one enough?"
"Oh, yes. I think I'm doing it perfectly... Olivia, this is beautiful, but I've heard the view is even better from my apartment."
"Well then, we must find out." Olivia replies, eagerly awaiting the 'view'. They continue to walk with Olivia's arms around Casey. They don't hurry, instead enjoying the way the rest of the world has disappeared. When the world tries to butt in, such as when strangers stare, they simply kiss it away. "A wish, a kiss, whatever makes you happy," thinks Olivia contentedly.
