Ted learns how to take some of the weight off her shoulders.

Summary
Rebecca is drowning in gala planning when Ted steps up to help. Weeks of working side by side. Too close. Too comfortable. Too many almost-kisses.
The almost-kisses start to pile up. Interruptions happen at the worst possible moments.
Almost doesn't count. Except it does when it keeps happening.
A 5+1 of near misses and the moment they finally get it right.

Summary
He yanks her wrist up, pinning it to the wall next to the other one, and leans in closer. The rough brick scrapes against her shoulders through her dress as he presses his weight against her.
"Well then, might as well settle in, because we're not finished talking."
"Yeah," a voice cuts in from down the hallway, calm but carrying an edge that makes them both freeze. "You are."
Rebecca's head snaps toward the sound.
