    Summary

    “It’s a bit like the song, you know,” Ben had said, with a gravitas that Kate didn’t think anyone had ever attached to Wham!’s Last Christmas. “We had this amazing time in the mountains, all very romantic, and then-,”

    “You gave him your heart and the very next day he gave it away?” Kate finished. Her sarcasm was entirely inappropriate for how sad Ben looked, but she couldn’t help herself.

    He shrugged in defeat. “Kind of. We got back to London and I never heard from him again.”

    Kate was slowly starting to put the pieces together. “So you want me to be there for emotional support? Because your brothers aren’t being sympathetic?”

    Benedict suddenly looked more awkward than she’d ever seen him before, the loose-limbed confidence he normally displayed deflating. “Well yes, that too, but also…,” he trailed off, as Kate stared at him in confusion.

    Summary

    And for the first time since he started his Italy holiday, Anthony stops questioning his behaviour and just lets himself be. He follows Kate into the kitchen, where she hands him a glass of water and stays standing next to him, follows her to her room where she opens the door and beckons him inside with a look. When he cups her face in his hands and she nods and he leans in to kiss her, life finally makes sense again. This he knows how to do. This he can understand.

    Summary

    When Thorin summons the company to the Lesser Hall and Bilbo explains what she wants done, there is a long silence, followed by thunderous argument.

    “I suppose we shouldn’t have expected better,” Bilbo mutters as Óin and Dwalin bellow at each other.

    It’s typical, Thorin thinks, and is disgusted with himself for the rush of fondness he feels.

    Summary

    It starts in Italy. 

    It’s early September and the holiday had initially been proposed to be a sort of retreat, painting together, going to the museums of Florence to learn and gather inspiration. They do paint occasionally, but mainly they lounge around the villa’s little pool, drinking red wine and spritz, planning their days around where they should go for dinner. 

    It’s wonderful, and Kate can feel the tension of the last months, the job search, the decisions she had to make, easing off her. So when Benedict tells the group that his brother is going to drop by for a bit, she barely takes notice of it. 

     

    (Kate and Anthony have a holiday fling before she moves to Berlin. It's not the last she sees of him.)
