    Summary

    For a strange, suspended moment it almost feels like she’s watching it happen to someone else.
    Then the rest of the world rushes in all at once.

    The roar of an engine.
    A horn – maybe hers.
    The violent snap of her seatbelt locking against her chest.
    The sound of Ted promising he’ll wait outside for her.
    The headlights fill the windshield.

    Her hands move before she decides and the car moves with them and she gets almost a bit of the road between them, but she knows it's not enough.
    There’s just enough time for one silly thought to flicker through her mind.

    I’m going to be late for dinner.

    Then metal crashes into metal.

    Summary

    When Ted has to go back to Kansas for two weeks to attend his cousin’s wedding, he’s hit with anxiety about going and having to see old family (and Michelle and Jake). Wanting to help, Rebecca offers to go with him. But on their arrival, Ted’s cousin and her wife-to-be assume they’re a couple and are so happy to see Ted with his ‘girlfriend’ that neither Ted nor Rebecca can bring themselves to correct them. That’s when they come up with the plan - if they’re fake dating, and everyone thinks Ted there with Rebecca as his partner, maybe this whole thing with his family will be a bit easier? Only neither of them factor into this plan that they’re both secretly in love with the other. Both believing they’re too broken to ever be good enough.

    But now they’re on a healing journey, with some help from those around them.

    Each chapter is inspired by a song from Noah Kahan’s album stick season we’ll all be here forever

    Now complete - continued in the sequel I Won’t Be Alone For the Rest of My Life
