We’d talked for hours over the past two days of the train ride. But now we sat silent in the observation car, looking out the windows instead of at each other. But when I finally glanced up…he was watching me.

I grabbed his hand, his palm soft in mine, and led him back to my room. He touched me softly, like his hands were asking each part of me a different question. And my body answered yes again and again.

I met Collin in our Salsa class, but we didn’t know each other well. He knew I was a beginner. And I knew that he was...not a beginner. So when he asked me to dance, it felt like I’d won something. Like being chosen meant something more than just one dance together.

Louis from Virgo Season has a backstory. Listen in as he visits Teresa, his artistic Aquarius muse, in Mexico.

I didn’t plan on getting to know her. The last thing I needed was someone telling my ex I was hanging out with one of the summer tourists. I tried to keep busy on the boat and in the shop, but I kept running into her...

When she told me she didn’t want to sleep together on the first date, I was surprised. But if she wanted to wait…I could wait. I’d do whatever she asked.

When Leo invited me to the book signing, I was scared to commit. Like my 'yes' might set something in motion between us I couldn’t stop. But I found myself walking between the shelves that night, the familiar smell of crisp hardcovers and old wood floors washing over me.

I tried to push away the memory of that night. But it felt impossible to focus on work with her desk right across from mine.

Tess was one spot in front of me on the leaderboard. So I pedaled faster. There was no way I was letting her win after she ghosted me.

Working on the ranch all summer, Heidi and I got close real fast. But it wasn’t until I saw her talking to Lee by the barn, that I realized how deep my feelings really ran.

Emmy and I were fast friends, it always felt like we were on the same page. So when she invited me to her studio for a birthday massage, I wasn’t sure what to think. Was this my gift…or something else?

I’m so used to the gang of guys, all that banter, the buzzing razors. It’s strange in here when it’s empty, I wonder if it will feel different between us? I usually play it a bit coy, but it’s low stakes when there are lots of people round.

Mornings at the dog park are my favorite time, there’s an unspoken rule that there’s no talking before coffee. But this dog’s cute owner has me rethinking that…

I caught my reflection in the mirror above the bar. When I turned my head to muss up my hair, my eyes caught on something else…Joanne. I always thought she was cute, but I couldn’t do anything about it when I worked for her.

We’ve been so close for so long now. I’ve always thought of him as a friend. But now he's crashing on my couch. And we're reminiscing. And, oh man, am I falling for him?

In med school, I was too focused on studying to think about dating. But James was on my learning team, so we spent every waking hour together. We kept it professional, until that rotation when the adrenaline took over.

My friends had weighed in so much on my last relationship, it felt easier to keep things with Nick to myself. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but slowly he became my fun little secret.

He got security to put me in the front row right up against the metal barrier. I've always been turned on by music, pretending I'm the women in the songs I listen to. It's one of the reasons why I can't help but relive that night at Bonnaroo over and over, even in bed with someone else.

Area code 412...where is that? This entire club is filled with queer exes and ex’s exes. It's gotta be someone you know. Maybe you should play along...and text them something flirty back.

It’s not weird for me to fall a little bit in love with a different stranger every day. My new hot neighbor, or a woman on the subway. But I have a soft spot for baristas. I think the fantasies are mostly fueled by caffeine. Except with Eli. Eli was real.

We both love Lana, but we're also the only two people not getting totally lit at this bachelorette. What should I even say to her? "Hi, I feel like I know you already, because I insta-stalk you all the time."

He reaches across the small space between us and takes my hand. I feel a pang in my stomach when I think of how little time we have left together. A few hours?

I switch on the table lamp, stand back. Too bright? No, it looks better. She’ll be home any second, and I’ll be sitting here on the sofa on my phone. I’ll look up slowly when she walks in, as if I haven’t been waiting for her.

It's after midnight and I'm one of the few stragglers still at the library. I get jolted out of a daydream by...Matt. So I'm not the only one here on a Friday night.

Standing between them, I don't know who I want more. I want to press harder and harder back into him, but my body's also arching towards her.

I walked you to the door, but we only shared a hug goodbye. When I got home I couldn’t sleep. I wanted to call you, text you. I felt like I’d missed a turn I wanted to take.

I’ve been checking him out for weeks, and tonight he’s the only other person to show up for our group run. We push each other, farther, faster, and when the run is over, I know I'm not ready to say goodbye.

After five days of hiking solo, a group catches up to me on the trail. They're all fun, but I can't take my eyes off of Jules across the campfire. He's older, and sexy, and I can't really focus on anything else.

I've fantasized about my friend Layla for months, and now she's standing in my kitchen. The energy between us has a nervous shimmer to it. I want to make her feel incredible, and I think that's exactly why she's here.

I see Sam Rice for the first time in over a decade at a punk show in our hometown. To this day, I've still never told anyone that I had a crush on him in high school.

It hasn't even been 48 hours since the night I had with Anna and Emilio. I scan the rows of faces at the bar where we're supposed to meet. He's not here yet, and I'm disappointed. Man, are these feelings? I'm even deeper in this than I thought.

We skirt the orchards, chatting as we get to the edge of the forest by way of the farm's greenhouse. Isabel walks into the shade, and I lose sight of her as I wait for my eyes to adjust. I pat the dried mushrooms in my pocket, working up the nerve to ask if she wants to take them.

They leaned across the table at Cooper's dinner party last week and told me they were an occultist. I immediately knew I needed a reading. Now I see Sam's name lighting up my phone, and swallow.

No one looks good in a chef's hat and chef's whites. It's just a fact. But I guess this guy operates outside the rules? I try to focus on the pile of carrots in front of me, but it's not easy.

Laura joins a new yoga studio and finds herself in a class run by Mark, a former-marine-turned-yoga-teacher. One night, Laura is the only student that shows up to class, and gets Mark’s full attention.
