Summary
“She assumed it was an act: the bumbling American on holiday who plays up the midwestern charisma and charms his way into her bed. And that was fine. That was what she wanted, for fuck’s sake. Never in a million years would she have guessed that the kindness and the good manners and the obvious respect for her as a human being were all genuine.
Sodding Americans.”
Rebecca brings someone home from the bar with a clear goal in mind: to pass one night in the throes of mindless debauchery with a stranger. She’s single. She can do whatever she pleases, thank you very much, which apparently includes getting herself in over her head when the stranger turns out to not only be very good in bed, but very good at worming his way into her heart.

Summary
“Oh wow,” Ted mutters. “Would ya look at that.”
Rebecca does look, but it takes some time before she understands what she’s seeing.
“Oh.”
Embedded in the porch beam are silver nails arranged into the shape of a heart, and in the center of the heart, the letters “T” and “R” are joined together with an addition symbol.
“Ted…”
“And Rebecca,” he says, laughing a little disbelievingly, turning to her with an astonished grin. “What do you reckon those odds are?”

Summary
Every night is the same.
She lays her head on her pillow and tries to think of anything but him. Sometimes the man is with her, which is nice. He’s easy enough to be with, and when he’s before her or beside her or on top of her, it’s easier to convince herself that her body is the same body she’s known for almost 5 decades. Lately, it’s felt like a stranger, a host for an ache she can’t work out how to exorcise.

Summary
“You don’t have to take care of me, Maddie.”
She wishes she was brave enough to ask Madeline the why of it all, but she fears that it’ll be some shallow, baseless reason that makes her heart twist with sadness.
“You don’t get it, do you?” Madeline laughs, pushes off Helen’s lap and sits across from her, looking at her with the most intense, wide eyes Helen has ever seen. “I have to take care of you and protect you because I’m in fucking love with you, Helen.”
