Someone I Admire

Harmony and Lulu need a role model for their project. London Rivers, Harmony's stepmom, looks like an easy A. Lulu says it first, all casual, but she's already thinking about something else. Next day they're in London's office. The questions start normal but Lulu pushes it. Her tone gets bolder, her eyes linger, and London leans right in. Harmony sits there burning up, watching her stepmom flirt back. London and Lulu tell her she can go, but Harmony stays put. She didn't come for a threesome. She came for the grade. The air thickens anyway. Everyone's breathing different. The project's going off the rails, fast.
