Season Three Party
“Recording again, sweetheart?” Carmilla asked, sauntering into the room with her hands behind her back.
“I need to get the news out to everyone,” Laura said determinedly, typing away at her laptop.
I know,” Carmilla said, nodding as she gracefully sat down, amusedly watching Laura’s scrunched up face as she worked away on editing a new video.
“So I was thinking,” Carmilla started, nudging Laura gently with her knee.
“What?” Laura asked, glancing at Carmilla.
“Well, this is the third time you’ve started recording for this,” Carmilla said, pulling her hands out from behind her back and placing a bottle of champagne and two flutes onto the table. “and while I do believe that this whole Lois Lane Jr. gig is quite likely doomed, it makes you happy.” She continued, uncorking the bottle and pouring some into each glass. “So I thought we should celebrate,” She held one flute out to Laura, and took one for herself.
Laura blushed a little and took it, nodding. “Thanks, Carm,” She said. “I know you don’t really like it, but I have to do it. I need to fix this, and keep everyone in the loop,”
“I know,” Carmilla nodded. “but you don’t have to do it alone,”
Laura felt a lump form in her throat, and nodded a little. “Together, right?”
Carmilla nodded. “Third time’s the charm?”
Laura let out a watery laugh. “Yeah, third time,”
Carmilla smiled and clinked her glass against Laura’s and took as sip as Laura did the same.
