Summary
You don’t break all at once.
Sometimes it’s a skipped lunch. A slammed door. A piece of art that looks different than the one before it.
As Scarlett tries to move through challenging emotions, Rebecca watches closely, unsure where the line is between helping and hovering. Rebecca has helped Scarlett navigate panic attacks and restraining orders, but this quiet unraveling is something else entirely.
All Rebecca can do is what she's always done - keep showing up, even when she doesn't have the answers. And hopefully Scarlett will learn what it means when family stays.

Summary
Rebecca holds it all together...until she doesn’t.
Ted is right there when it all crashes.It starts by chance: a touch he didn’t plan, and a reaction she didn’t expect.
One moment becomes a pattern, and what Rebecca can’t bring herself to ask for out loud, she reaches for in the way she leans into him — in the way she lets him see her come undone.
Ted learns how to take some of the weight off her shoulders.
Rebecca learns what it feels like to be taken care of without having to be in control all the time. -

Summary
Rebecca is drowning in gala planning when Ted steps up to help. Weeks of working side by side. Too close. Too comfortable. Too many almost-kisses.
The almost-kisses start to pile up. Interruptions happen at the worst possible moments.
Almost doesn't count. Except it does when it keeps happening.
A 5+1 of near misses and the moment they finally get it right.

Summary
He yanks her wrist up, pinning it to the wall next to the other one, and leans in closer. The rough brick scrapes against her shoulders through her dress as he presses his weight against her.
"Well then, might as well settle in, because we're not finished talking."
"Yeah," a voice cuts in from down the hallway, calm but carrying an edge that makes them both freeze. "You are."
Rebecca's head snaps toward the sound.

Summary
They set rules for a reason. Keep it simple, casual, easy.
But neither of them are good at following rules—only breaking them.
What starts as one reckless night becomes an addiction. Filthy texts across crowded rooms. Locked doors and stolen moments.
They should have known it wouldn't stay casual for long.

Rebecca has never actually been naked in this office before. Not since it became hers. And certainly not when it belonged to Rupert.
Until today.

Summary
Ted doesn’t mean to stake a claim on her, but once his hand was on her back, it felt so natural to guide her to the door like that. And it seemed to help, even after he slid it a bit lower than was necessary. He wanted to present a united front, but also to confirm to Malcolm that his advances were unwelcome. How better to show that than showcasing Rebecca accepting his touch where she had not allowed Malcolm’s?

Summary
“Is that what you want, Rebecca?” he asks her, his finger gently swiping down her cheek.
Rebecca. Not Boss.
She feels that zip through her body and it comes out as a shiver. She takes a breath and manages a quiet “mmhmm”. But Ted only moves a fraction closer.
“Gonna need to hear you say it, darlin’.”
