    Summary

    “Patrick—” Tashi just blinks, then scrambles for the TV remote. She powers it on and flips through a couple channels.

    Patrick sits up straight, watching her hold the remote with a white-knuckle grip, when she finally settles on a channel.

    He glances up at the TV, and it takes longer than he cares to admit for the words on the screen to click in his mind.

    Summary

    The Taxi-Cab Theory, popularized in Sex and the City, states that men, just like taxis, turn on their ‘available’ light when they’re ready to settle down. And until then, no matter how amazing you are, they’ll just drive right past you. In other words: If he’s not “ready,” he won’t commit—no matter how great you are. But the second he decides it’s time? The next person he dates gets the ring.

    The light stays off. Until Stede. And Izzy learns it was never about timing or being ready—it was about who made the light turn on and stay on.

    (Patrick and Art spend a confusing weekend together at the tail-end of the year)
