Summary
“When you think about it, Apollo,” the Madeline on their TV says sagely, “That crazy blue marble of ours isn’t so different from your beloved tennis ball.”
The Madeline that’s sitting on the floor, leaning back against Helen’s calves, makes a sound like a beached whale. “I told them to cut the tennis ball speech,” she mutters, playing with the hem of Helen’s dress. “But did they listen? Does anyone listen when a beautiful blonde woman speaks her mind?”
“Like Christ on the cross, you poor thing,” Helen says, warming a lump of clay between her fingers. “Stop squirming.”
-----
Madeline and Helen watch Dogstronaut together.

OR
Madeline takes a hit to the head, aka falls down a flight of stairs, and forgets that she and Helen hate each other.

Summary
“Anyways, I’ve waited my whole life for you.”
Helen audibly moaned at that, wishing she felt like the woman who stepped into her own book release party dripping in red satin, tits pushed up to high heaven. That woman lived within her; even before Helen took the potion, before Ernest and ruined marriages, before Madeline.
But lying beneath Madeline, her sweet scent crawling around the room with a cougar-like precision, Helen had never felt so vulnerable.
—
Or, Helen and her gunshot wound need first aid after Ernest leaves in a haste. Who better to help—in more ways than one—than the woman who pulled the trigger?
