A few hours at home and the Telegraph Club seemed more like a fantasy than a real thing. This troubled her. It felt as if someone had taken an eraser to her memory - to her very self - and rubbed at it, then blown away the remains. Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

And then, inexplicably, you had the absolute audacity to love me back. Can you believe it? Sometimes, even now, I still can't. [insp] for @lilythesilly
