Summary
When he turns, the girl’s watching him, one hand on the chest of drawers and the other stuffed in her bulging hoodie pouch.
He could ask her if she knows the guy who lives here. He could ignore her completely. He could go out and find someone to give him another fucking bump.
Instead, he takes a breath. Runs a hand through his hair. “Cuppa?”
After a night out, Sol wakes to a strange girl digging through the drawers.
Well. At least his life's not boring.

Summary
Izzy still doesn't precisely know how to feel about work this morning, but it's somewhere between scorn and dread.
He's already encountered the new General Manager's influence; Edward's unilateral decision last week to change his signature block to read co-General Manager, for fuck's sake, which Izzy had had to push back on. Izzy's also had actual contact with him; brief, over Teams. His impression of the man wasn't precisely flattering.
Day one of the High Income Tax Policy and Enforcement Branch, and Izzy doesn't really have any idea what to expect.
–
Israel Hands has been the Executive Officer to Edward Teach, General Manager of High Income Tax Enforcement, for a long time. He knows this job, he knows Edward, and he knows how to keep his life separate from work - for the most part.
And then the branch is restructured to include Stede Bonnet, General Manager of Tax Policy, and his team of fucking clowns. Suddenly Izzy has two bosses, irritating coworkers, and a rapidly disintegrating line between the personal and the professional.
Not to mention Edward's behaving more erratically than usual.
(It's a romcom).

Summary
At precisely the seven-and-a-half hour mark, Izzy prepares the cabin for landing. Ed’s crackly voice buzzes over the loudspeaker with the announcement. He’s not thinking specifically of Finance Consultant Guy, nor of anything bar the inevitable banality of deboarding, so it genuinely catches him off-guard when a hand closes over his wrist.
“Apologies for being forward, but what are you doing after this?”

Summary
“You said anything,” Edward reminds him. “I want to know if you meant it. Would you kill someone? If I asked you to?”
“Anything,” Izzy echoes, as earnest as a fucking wedding vow.
