    Summary

    “Belly…,” he said, his tone scolding and it sent a thrill through her.

    “Conrad,” she murmured, though it wasn’t mocking when it left her lips this time. It was a plea. A prayer. A weak, wounded sound she knew he’d never be able to resist. It was an injury he could heal. A problem he could fix. An absence he could fill to stop her from feeling any more pain. In short, it was specifically designed to go straight to Conrad Fisher’s heart, bypassing his brain and all its honorable intentions completely to settle in that aching cavity above his ribs.

    (AU where Conrad never learns about Jeremiah cheating and Belly goes through with the wedding. It lasts about as long as you’d expect.)

    Summary

    For a second, it feels absurd. Shaking his hand. As if she hadn’t been naked in his bed less than four weeks ago. But Belly reaches out anyway. "I’m Isabel,” she says evenly. “But all my friends call me Belly.”

    There’s the slightest pause. He raises an eyebrow, just a fraction, just enough to register. “Nice to meet you,” he says.

    Just like that. Like they’re strangers.

    So that’s what they’re doing. Good.

    Summary

    "Belly, look, in all seriousness," he says, catching his breath but still grinning, "you can't hire an escort. I can’t believe Agnes actually suggested that."

    My eyes widen. "Oh my god, Conrad, no! She wasn't suggesting I hire an escort. She was suggesting..."

    The words die in my throat. I trail off, looking at him—really looking at him—and realise there is no version of reality where I can comfortably say, 'She was suggesting you pretend to be my fake boyfriend so I can trick my ex into thinking I'm dating a brilliant, brooding Stanford doctor.'

    "What?" Conrad asks, his smile softening into something more curious, more focused.

    "What'd I miss?" Agnes’s voice cuts through the air as she slides back into the booth, drink in hand, sounding way too cheerful for someone who just abandoned her post. She looks between us, her eyebrows practically reaching her hairline when she sees how close we’re sitting.

    ---

    Or, an AU fic loosely based on The Wedding Date, featuring a scheming Agnes and a Conrad who's secretly been harbouring a crush on (a completely oblivious) Belly for the past six months.

    Summary

    Maybe once, she would’ve been embarrassed by what’s caught his attention, but Conrad has never once, for a single second, made her feel like anything about her body makes her less desirable to him.
