    Summary

    The Gardiners make the match.

    It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.

    It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.

    In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.

    OR: Mary and Tom have a regency era marriage of convenience

    Summary

    ModernAU - Mary Bennet lives a relatively quiet life as a teacher in Manhattan alongside her lively and carefree boyfriend, William Ryder. That is, until some of his recklessness goes a bit too far and he finds himself in the midst of a lawsuit. Luckily, Will has an old university friend he can convince to help him out – Thomas Hayward, lawyer extraordinaire.

    Between museum exhibits, depositions, tense family dinners, and new feelings she can’t seem to ignore, Mary’s life is about to get a bit more exciting, and a whole lot more complicated.

    Summary

    Mary Bennet spent years loving Tom Hayward quietly. Quietly enough that nobody noticed. Not Tom, who only ever saw his best friend's younger sister. Not Jane, who never realised how carefully Mary stayed out of the way.

    University changed everything. By the time Mary returned, she learnt how to take up space; she became someone she finally recognised in the mirror. Then she moved into the spare room of Tom’s flat.

    Tom can't understand why the friend he remembers so fondly now keeps him carefully at arm's length. Mary can't understand why the boy from her past suddenly seems determined to learn every version of who she's become.

    Some people grow apart. Others simply need to meet each other twice.
