Scanning the debris of Misha’s party, Danneel decides to leave it for Jensen to clean up. It was his stupid idea. His stupid kind of friend. Never mind the fact that she likes to keep a tidy house, the hell with it. Her head aches and the taste in her mouth tells her she smoked last night. Gross.
The last thing she remembers is dancing on the dinner table and someone stuffing money in her bra. Been a long time since anyone’s done that without getting their teeth kicked in. How drunk was I?
“I’m going to work,” she calls out.
“In your underwear?” Jensen asks. He is strewn half on the couch and half off of it, doing an amazingly convincing impression of a dead person.
“No,” Danneel scowls at him. “I mean, not just my underwear. I’ll wear a coat.”

The first time, Jensen was seventeen and desperate to impress her. Danneel always thinks if they could have fallen in love, ever, it would’ve been then. That night when they were both kind of drunk and kind of stupid and Jensen was telling her I ain’t queer, you’re mistaken. He actually said mistaken, all pretty voiced. And Danneel liked him, how he winced and how he was brave and how they got one another. Danneel loved him in this inflexible way that has never changed, not through the years or across the miles they’ve come. And when he was branded and sore and hopeful and tried to kiss her, she kissed him back and said this is the absolute last time, Jen. I know you too well.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]I Don’t Want to Be a Bride
Vanessa Carlton
Rabbits on the Run“This kind of buzz of anxiety that surrounds a lot of women when you hit a certain age - about marriage - I wish that didn’t exist. And I understand the whole pregnancy situation with women where if you want to have a child, you only have so much time. But you still can wait to your early 40s, you still could figure something out. I think it’s a bit unfair, because I think it shuts down a lot of women in their most exploratory phase of their life. I mean, I just turned 30 and I can’t even tell you how much more curious I am - I’m more curious now than I’ve ever been.”
