    Summary

    He can’t stop the things he’s set in motion now without a really good reason to do it. He’s been waiting for a long time, years even, and he’s never been handed a reason. For as much of a gambler as he was, he’s become an investor now. He’d thought what he was putting into a college relationship, the nickels and dimes and quarters of patience and space while she figured herself out, he’d thought it would add up to something. Instead, he’s on a transatlantic flight with a pocket full of change (and keys) and a heart full of disappointment. He’s heading home to another woman and she’s… he doesn’t know. He doesn’t think she does either.

    She has this way of falling apart completely and rebuilding herself and he wants to watch. He wants to be a part of it.

    He wants her to let him be a part of it.

    But he can’t bring himself to beg. He doesn’t know how to do this, never has when it comes to her.

    Summary

    It takes more than a few years for Rory to recognize the pattern: the phone calls arrive on the same spring weekend each May, and by the third year, she can practically smell the Macallan through the phone when she answers, before a single word is spoken.
