Summary
‘You were there when she collapsed. I remember your faces when I carried her to her room, how terrible it was. Holding Mary in my arms, looking down at her, she was so fragile and – ’ Suddenly, Tom took off his spectacles and wiped his hand furiously across his eyes. ‘Forgive me.’ More quietly, he repeated in an altered tone. ‘Forgive me, please.’
There had been times in the past two months when Tom’s inexplicable disappearance had disappointed her. But her heart ached for him now, for all he had said and what he had not, the suffering which was so palpable and the diffidence which had been so grotesquely exploited.

“Do you know how I would feel if anything were to happen to you?”

Summary
She imagined a hundred scenarios, tried to believe that there was some way it might have played out differently, but there had been a dark finality in Mr Hayward's solemn gaze after speaking with Mr Ryder, and she was sure that was the crux of it.
I shall get to the bottom of it all, tomorrow, she resolved, they owe me that much.
What if Scafel went a little differently? What if Mary did not go gentle? What if she refused to let other people continue to make decisions for her? What if Mary made herself be brave?

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.

Summary
Thomas Hayward recognized a few universal truths about life. One, that a single man who was not in possession of a good fortune must work for everything he has. Two, that love was not something that people merely acquired without equal amounts of hard work and finally, that you always wanted Mrs. Gardiner on your side.

Summary
Tom Hayward thought he knew what it meant to wait in uncertainty. He had sat outside sickrooms before. Had listened to muffled, somber voices behind doors that would not open for him. He had learned that particular shape of helplessness that came from being close enough to hear pain, but not close enough to stop it. He had thought, at that time, that it was the worst kind of distance. He was wrong. This was worse.
Tom's thoughts as he waits outside Mary's delivery room.

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
