Authorial fanon? Or additional canon.

This isn't a real update, in other words.

The library had been closed for hours, and most of its lights were out, when Nancy let herself inside and made her way upstairs. The keys to the library, to the archive, to Judy’s office itself, were peculiarly exciting in themselves--mute proofs, each of them, that whatever spats went on by daylight Judy hadn’t, wouldn’t, maybe couldn’t walk away from whatever this was they shared. More than friendship, certainly--less than commitment, but Nancy ruefully acknowledged, now as always, that she had only herself to blame for this.

‘Seven,’ Nancy said, her voice husky even in her own ears, and Judy nodded, wordlessly opening the bottom drawer of her desk--and that was one key, Nancy realized with a rush of insight, that she hadn’t been given. Yet.

The leather riding crop was gorgeous in Judy’s slim, white hand. ‘The desk will support your weight,’ she reminded Nancy, her eyes shining oddly. ‘Bend over...’
