Summary
His hand on the small of her back, staying there instead of brushing past, and hers buried in his hair, enveloped in the familiar smell of his skin, the feeling of home. Two toothbrushes in the bathroom. Two pairs of shoes by the door.
They share pretty much everything else already, Sydney thinks. They could have this, too.
----Carmy doesn't mind helping Sydney with the furniture for her hew apartment, and Sydney doesn't mind the help. Except that she does. A lot.

Summary
Carmy folds his arms again, toying with his fork. “Anyways, it’s gonna happen.”
“Right,” Sydney says. “Blind faith. Let it rip.”
“And,” Carmy says, pointing the fork at her, “because you’re you, and this is insane.” He gestures to their empty dishes.
Sydney ducks her head, tries hard not to let his praise tilt her off her stool and onto the floor. “Shut up.”
-- Testing for The Bear's menu, Sydney cooks for Carmy. They share a conversation and a meal. Sydney does her best to be emotionally mature while battling real actual demons (romantic attraction towards her coworker).

Summary
"Again, their breath moves together, only instead of a sigh of relief it holds still, caught in their throats. They seem to both acknowledge a door half-open, a window just cracked. Sometimes it’s like this—working on the Bear, talking about Mikey when they have to, when they mention the money or the inspiration or the afternoons Carmen has to plan around in order to attend the AL meetings.
They are always on the edge of talking about it. Sometimes Carm feels it like a lighter, finger pressed down flat, letting all the gas out, never making a spark. It never catches, it never burns, but it’s there, fucking up the ozone layer or some shit like that. He’s always fucking up something."
OR: After months of hard work, The Bear is nearing opening, with a inaugural write-up in the Tribune to go with it. The only problem is: Carmy can't talk about the restaurant without talking about Mikey, and he can't talk about Mikey without talking about himself.
