Summary
The thought arrived uninvited and immediately irritated her.
Across the table, Andrea was studying the condensation running down the side of her water glass, apparently oblivious to the fact that she had just made the last two decades considerably more confusing. People did not usually remember promotions, or cities someone had lived in, or the exact order in which those things had happened. They certainly didn’t recall them casually over lunch nearly twenty years later. At least, not unless they had been paying attention. Not unless, at some point, they had actively wanted to know.
And if Andrea had been paying attention all this time, then Emily suddenly found herself confronted with a question she had never once considered asking.
Why?
OR
Spiralling after your ex resurfaces after 20 years and has a version of events of your break up that is very much different to yours is normal, right? Emily Charlton is asking for a friend.

Summary
"She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.
"We're two friends having dinner."
"At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."
"It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."
"You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."
"That's not a date, that's paying attention."
"Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.
--
More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

“How do you even put up with me”, Andy yawns.
Emily sighs and closes her eyes as the warmth is lulling her in, but before she gives in to sleep, she says pointedly, “I don’t know.”

Summary
It was 7.23 p.m. when Andy finally put the marker cap back on with a loud ‘click’, took a few steps back until she stood against her desk, with her hands laying on it and slightly leaning back as she looked at the board. She had wrote, erased, wrote again, erased again, thrown the marker to the wall, remembered it was a glass wall, cleaned the ink stain on said wall, retrieved the marker, sat at her desk, banged her head on said desk, twice, walked back to the board, started writing again.
That’s how she found herself staring at a title, written in red - it read: “List of the reasons I’m not proposing to Emily” - and five numbered elements underneath.or
5 times Andy knows she wants to marry Emily + 1 time she does something about it
