    About this ebook

    Two short stories, “V-Day 1978” by Cindy Rizzo and “Pistachio Heat” by Nikki Busch, provide you with a double dose of romance for Valentine’s Day and for every other day of the year.

    Pistachio Heat by Nikki Busch
    Miri Rahimi is dreading her first Valentine’s Day since coming out at the ripe old age of thirty-five. But she's decided to jump into the fray and attend the local lesbian Meetup at a pinball museum. Fearing rejection because nobody will want to be her "first," she's pleasantly surprised when she meets Van Wallace—a blonde butch with a wicked sense of humor.
    The heat between them builds over a game of pinball—until Van suddenly leaves Miri right before the stroke of midnight.
    Will Cupid bring them back together?

    V-Day 1978 by Cindy Rizzo
    When Katie moves to Sojourner Womyn’s Land and is assigned Hillary as her orientation buddy, a strong attraction develops. But the community has a rule again “coupling,” which it regards as a vestige of patriarchy designed to treat women as property, and Hillary is committed to living by Sojourner’s radical feminist ideals.
    For a while, it appears that Katie will be unable to convince Hillary that they should be together—until right before Valentine’s Day when something unusual happens.

      Pistachio Heat

      by Nikki Busch

      Miri Rahimi looked in her freezer and sighed. Out of gelato again. It was the deciding factor. She’d go to the Meetup group’s Valentine’s Day pinball party. If she couldn’t sit home, nursing a pint of creamy pistachio goodness, she might as well check out the group. Hell, it was practically in her backyard. Worse comes to worst, I’ll play a few games, grab a late dinner, and hit Shop-Rite on the way home. Gelato goes on sale at midnight.

      Not only was it her first time visiting Silverball Pinball Museum, on Asbury Park’s newly reconstructed boardwalk, it was her first time attending a lesbian Meetup. Her expectations for the group—GirlUp—were ridiculously low. At thirty-five, Miri was a late-bloomer lesbian who’d never had a girlfriend. She pictured a neon sign on her forehead, flashing the words Out Too Late: Do Not Date, and wondered if she even stood a chance.

      "I just know everyone’s terrified I’ll go running, screaming back to dick!" She’d Skyped her old high school friend Jackie in a last-ditch attempt to talk herself out of attending the party.

      Give it time, Miri. You’ve been out for what, three months? Talk about impatient. Just go to the party and have fun. Sitting in her living room back in northern New Jersey, Jackie looked much more relaxed than Miri felt.

      Miri passed the flat iron through her short, chocolate-brown locks. I’ve only wasted more than a decade having bad sex with the wrong gender. What’s twenty years of celibacy going to matter? Her voice was almost a snarl, but her hair was finally straight and spikey.
