Assorted ficlets

[anxietygrrl]

Give me a character/pairing/series I'm familiar with, and a single word, and I will write a line of fic. (The definition of "a line" here seems to have some give to it. Right now it appears to be "a line with that word and a paragraph to go around it.") Feel free to choose from, uh... anything I may have mentioned at some point. Doesn't have to be something I've previously written. We'll throw it against the wall, etc.

Meh. Not the best work. My mojo is waning.

The first time she ran into Terry on the job, she didn't know it was him. Part of her must have known, though, because she got the overwhelming feeling that this guy was going to be trouble. She started flirting with him almost immediately. The second time they met, he figured out who she was. He was so flummoxed by it that he gave himself away, though she didn't let on for some time. Eventually, he asked her, "How? Why?"

Well, some girls went to college after high school. Some travelled for a year. Some even got married. Some got jobs. "I sort of did all of the above." Not that she was even close to getting married, she was quick to explain, but, well, "I did get a shiny new ring."
