Summary
Agatha was thrice blessed: by Demeter, by prophecy, by birth into power.
Thrice cursed: caged, controlled, claimed by a mother who saw only her value.
Then Rio came: an alpha who should have been beneath her notice, who smelled like earth and honey.
When their hands first touched, the vision tore through her. Sunlight through olive leaves. Bodies tangled in sheets. A tongue that split and tasted acrid. Dark eyes hollowed out into nothingness.
She saw what loving Rio would cost.
For one night, Agatha chose freedom.
The gods made her pay for it.

Summary
“Holy. Shit.”
Rio turns, brows raised. “What?”
Alice doesn’t answer, eyes locked on something past the crowd.
“Seriously, what is it?” Rio asks again.
Then Alice grabs her arm hard enough to nearly knock the drink out of her hand and points.
Rio follows with her eyes. And there, maybe twenty feet away, walking through a break in the crowd like some terrifying fashion shark is Agatha freaking Harkness.
“Didn’t you say your boss was straight? Then why does someone who looks exactly like her just happen to be at Pride...with what looks a whole lot like a hot, gorgeous, probably very gay date?”
OR
Rio lies and calls in sick so she can go to Pride on a workday.

“Lieutenant Vidal, you have yet to meet our new surgeon.” Past him, stands the woman Rio noticed on the beach the night before.
