    Summary

    “Explain it to me,” she says, so calm, he’s thrown off balance at first—and then he looks closer, looks at her hands, white-knuckled around her cup. Her eyes, darker than he’s ever seen them. Her posture appears casual, but there’s tension radiating from her every muscle, and she isn’t just pissed—she’s furious, and Ted feels his own anger spur in response.

    “Don’t think I owe you an explanation.”

    Rebecca sets her cup down, the clatter betraying her. “You punched my ex-husband in the face at my charity event. I think you owe me whatever I fucking ask.”

    Summary

    Henry’s never rude, never outright dismissive, but as he chatters on about school and sports, his eyes remain firmly on Ted, and he doesn’t once look back at Rebecca, trailing behind them through the crowded fair. She doesn’t want to interfere—knows that Henry loves and needs the time with his father as much as Ted does with his son. She doesn’t want to be a burden or an interruption; but she also fears being too standoffish, too aloof, of appearing uninterested in Henry’s life. Kids notice, she knows, and she’s done her best to treat him kindly and ask questions, even when she’s met with one word answers and shrugs.

    Summary

    And then the crowd shifts and he can see Nate, sees a number of players from West Ham, lined up in front of his team, and Nate is glowering at Rebecca and she has a hand stretched out in front of Jamie. He spies Isaac crossing the room, looking thunderous, and knows it isn’t going to end well. Not for the team, not for anyone but all he can see is Rebecca.

    Summary

    “A witch’s oven is a particularly stupid place to hide.”

    The boy looks up at her, eyes blown wide, dirt and ash all over his face and clothes. He’s a scrawny thing, bony knees, hard cheekbones—not worth roasting, even if she were interested in that sort of thing.

    He doesn’t, as she expects, fly out of the oven. He doesn’t brandish a stick or a knife. He’s trembling, his voice hoarse, blood visible on his lip when he whispers,

    “Please. Please don’t tell them I’m here.”

    Summary

    "Oh, have I not been clear? Ted's not just George's replacement as Manager. He's your replacement, too, as my partner. And dare I say, it's an upgrade all around."

    ~

    Ted attends a gala as Rebecca's plus-one to serve as a buffer between her and Rupert, but Rebecca seizes an opportunity to lie her ass off and say she's dating Ted since it means getting to see Rupert experience all six stages of grief at once. However, the little white lie she tells must be kept up once Rebecca and Ted are invited to another function as a couple by Rupert. It's only a matter of time before the press catches on -- and before Ted and Rebecca realize they don't have to pretend to have feelings for each other.
