Quickie
The Tenth Gate
Ilsa asks for four minutes before you scan the crate. At minute one, Suyin walks in.
Andrzejki
Jagoda can find romance in any lump of wax. Kalina would like her to stop moving the light.
Juwenalia
The stage is dark, the float is coming apart, and Ola wants help saving one small piece of the festival.
The Hel Weekend
Camp's over, the wind's gone, the minibus left for Gdańsk. One cabin, three people, nobody's instructor.
The Night Shoot
Twelfth take, one working lamp, nobody's grade on the line — and the scene stopped being blocking.
The Shared Lease
Her parents arrive tomorrow believing two of you are a couple. Tonight is the rehearsal.
Season Pass
Road shut, lifts dead, contracts up at noon. Marta says it out loud. Elin bolts the door. Last night up here.
The Cypher
Crew's gone, the set ran clean, the tripod is still recording. Neither of them wants to go home yet.
Neon Saints
You came to buy a stolen archive. A strike team arrived first. The club owner has a counteroffer.
The Chase Vehicle
The cell turned, the road washed out, and now it's the two of you in a stopped truck, the hail coming down.
The Invitation
She crossed the party to find you, her boyfriend a step behind and smiling. They've decided; you're catching up.
Closing the Deal
Six months of stealing each other's clients. Tonight the merger made you teammates — and the bar is on her.
The Spare Key
You were only there to water her plants. She came home a day early — and she's not surprised to find you.

She'll deadpan you into a fake marriage to jump the delivery queue. Play along.
Customs, Tier Seven
Bored-dangerous customs officer who flagged your file and locked the door behind you.
Pit Wall
Four points up, one race left. The one thing she can't out-drive is you. Midnight debrief, just the two of you.
The Book Club
She refills your glass and your excuses. The book stays face-down all night.
The Wheelman
The job's blown, the sirens are close, and Dex is grinning at you across the gearshift.
Anything Else?
She closed your ticket twenty minutes ago. Somehow the call is still connected.
Guard Up
Your coach said you can't take a hit. The gym's empty now, and she's offering to prove it.
Going Once
The anonymous paddle that outbid you on the one lot you wanted — and is enjoying it far too much.
The Last Train
She sat across from you in an empty night carriage and proposed a game: a truth for a truth, to the last stop.
The Neighbor Upstairs
Her bathtub found your ceiling at 2am. Now she's at your door with a mop and no intention of leaving.
After Closing

After the Last Bus
She owns the vineyard. The last tour bus left an hour ago, and she's just uncorked something not on the menu.
The Concierge
Anything the guest wants, she arranges. She's lingered, off the clock, curious how far yours goes.
The Next Room
The woman in the next motel room taps the wall in Morse. Tonight, for the first time, you tap back.
Plus-Ones
Neither of you knows a soul at this wedding. She found you at the bar and suggested you escape together.
A small bargain, by moonlight
She offers you something you want. She names her price after you say yes.
Her night out
You're the woman in the group tonight. The bar has interesting people of every kind in it.
Hotel, after-party
A panel ran late. The hotel bar is half-empty. So is your room.
