    Summary

    “But Ted, I can’t think of anyone more likely to be loved than you.”

    He stops now and turns to look at her a little bemused, “Oh yeah, why’s that?”

    Because I think I do, her voice whispers in her head, swooping through her stomach, knocking on her chest like a visitor asking to be let in.

    It started wrong.
    She knows that.
    But it started. And that was what she cared about.

    Summary

    It was a surprise, but a welcome one, when he’d asked her out. He’d slid her biscuits across the desk, their fingers brushing, a frequent occurrence of late; he’d put his hands in his pockets, inquired after her evening plans, and when she’d admitted to a night in, nothing but a Wallander marathon and a bottle of Chardonnay, he’d suggested they go out—dinner, maybe a movie, maybe a dip in the Thames (she’d glared, but it’d been so half-hearted, with the way her chest had constricted and her throat had closed up and the thought had pressed in, please, please let this be it).

    Summary

    She still can’t quite believe it, even with the bond crackling between them, even with Ted holding her hands as though she is something precious, a treasure he’d never expected to find. But Ted smiles up at her, so sweetly, and promises, “Sweetheart, I’ve been yours for months now. We’ve just both been too stupid to figure it out.”

    Summary

    Ted can’t stop touching her. Rebecca can’t stop noticing. A gala, a car ride, and everything in between.
