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.

Summary
Because she always wants to hear everything from Emily. Except, apparently, this.
“I met someone.”
Andy blinks. Once. Twice.
Her fingers tighten fractionally around the stem of her wine glass. She swallows. Pulls in a breath that feels strangely shallow in her lungs.
“That’s great, Em,” she means to say immediately. Brightly, effortlessly. “Tell me everything.”
Instead, what comes out is small and terribly honest.
“Oh.”

Summary
Her latest realisation is digested as slowly and rationally as possible. There is nothing to worry about. It's just a small, tiny crush. Completely manageable.
It is not, in fact, manageable.
Or: Emily, Andy, and everything that follows.

Summary
The woman walking toward her was not the Andrea she remembered.
Or rather: she was, and she wasn't. The face was the same — the same particular warmth to it, the same mouth, slightly too wide for conventional beauty but somehow more interesting for it. But everything else had shifted. She carried herself differently. There was a straightness to her spine that hadn't been there before, a kind of settled confidence that showed not in how she held her shoulders but in how she held her ground.
or
Andrea is different now. Emily doesn't know what to do with that.

Summary
"It’s just fiction" Andy whispered, but the air in the apartment had turned to lead.
"Right" Emily said, her voice an octave lower. "Rubbish."
OR: Andy is a journalist, so she is obviously trained to investigate the truth. But when a late-night Twitter scroll reveals fifty eight fanfictions written about her and Emily Charlton, her reality completely fractures.
It’s supposed to be a joke. But as Emily reads the explicit details out loud, the sarcasm dies, their easy grace vanishes, and the room becomes heavy.
