Summary
Emily checks her watch and realizes they have about thirty minutes before they need to leave, and moves to take off her coat. She pauses as she reaches for the buttons.
“God.”
Emily angles her head towards the bedroom door and waits, wondering if Andy banged her knee while getting ready. Nothing else comes through. She resumes taking off her coat, and grabs a hanger. Her hand freezes right as she places it on the empty hook.
A broken breath, somewhere between a whine and a moan, filters through the apartment.

Summary
"Do you always come to the door dressed like that?" Emily heard herself ask, and immediately hated it, because it had come out as though she'd noticed, when the entire point was that she had not.
"Only when someone knocks." The corner of the woman's mouth went up. "Should I have changed? You'd have waited. I'd have liked knowing you were out here waiting for me."
"Is this how it works over here? You do a favour and then flirt with the woman on your doorstep and call it neighbourly?"
"Is that what you think I'm doing? Flirting?"
--
Or the one where Emily ends up letting the vampire who is great with her children drink her blood once a week for purely practical reasons. Like super practical. So practical. Please stop looking at her like that, Serena.

Summary
She had prepared. This was the part Emily found genuinely alarming. Andy had acquired face paint, red, white, and blue, in little pots, arranged on the bathroom counter beside Emily's serums like a threat. She had bought a packet of tiny American flags on cocktail sticks, the sort of thing that ordinarily garnished a cupcake, and had distributed them around the living room with the solemnity of a general planting standards. And she had, that morning, attempted to paint a flag on Emily's cheek.
“Absolutely not,” Emily had said, leaning away from the approaching sponge with her whole spine.
“Just a little one. Just a tiny one. On the cheekbone. It'll be cute.”
“I am English.”
“Okay, but for one afternoon—”
“I am English, I have dignity, and I believe face paint on an adult should be grounds for arrest. On any adult. In any circumstance. I would testify.”
“You'd look so patriotic.”
“To a country that is not mine. Andrea, put the sponge down. Put it down. I will pour that pot of blue paint into your handbag, and I will not feel a thing.”
Or: Andy gets World Cup fever. Emily remains entirely unaffected.

Summary
To anyone else, nothing has changed, but to Emily, the energy of the conversation has shifted. She sees her starting to get distant, not in the obviously flustered and sometimes frantic way Andy typically would when she feels uncomfortable. She’s conversational, expressive, and her voice has inflections in all the right places for good storytelling, but she’s not entirely present, like she has stepped back and is guiding the conversation from behind a glass wall.
It’s the first time Emily has ever seen this from Andy and she isn’t quite sure what to do with it, or the way she feels about seeing it. She sets the feeling aside for later.
--
Or the one where Emily realizes that Andy can, in fact, hide a feeling, and she doesn't know how to feel about it at the same time someone from Andy's past, who knows why Andy hides certain feelings, comes back into the picture and reconnects with Andy almost instantly, and Andy insists they're just really good friends.
Friends whose lives have intersected so many times that they've woven a pattern together that's uniquely theirs.
Just like Andy and Emily.

Summary
The thought arrived uninvited and immediately irritated her.
Across the table, Andrea was studying the condensation running down the side of her water glass, apparently oblivious to the fact that she had just made the last two decades considerably more confusing. People did not usually remember promotions, or cities someone had lived in, or the exact order in which those things had happened. They certainly didn’t recall them casually over lunch nearly twenty years later. At least, not unless they had been paying attention. Not unless, at some point, they had actively wanted to know.
And if Andrea had been paying attention all this time, then Emily suddenly found herself confronted with a question she had never once considered asking.
Why?

Spiralling after your ex resurfaces after 20 years and has a version of events of your break up that is very much different to yours is normal, right? Emily Charlton is asking for a friend.

"...and I swear I repeated it a thousand times in my head: please ask about a girl, please ask about a girl, please ask about a girl. Because if you had, I wouldn't have hesitated for a single second. But you didn't."
"Winnie, please…"
"And then you sat down next to me, and you were being so tender and sweet that for a second, I felt like a little kid again. Like all I wanted was to just hide in my mom's arms. I wanted to tell you, of course I wanted you to know. I wanted to tell you how terrified I am of what's happening to me, that I’ve never felt anything like this before, that I'm scared of what people around me will say, I wanted you to just hold me and tell me that you're with me, and that everything is going to be okay."

“Are you going to say it?” Andrea asked.
“Say what?”
“That I nearly had you.”
Emily let out a breath. “Nearly is not a recognised championship category.”
“You were two points from losing.”
“And yet the very large silver object behind you remains mine.”
Andrea looked at the Dish again. When she faced Emily, there was a small smile at one corner of her mouth.
“Then why are you looking at me?”

Summary
“Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.
“What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”
“I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”
“Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”
/
(Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)
