    Summary

    Mrs. Hall is cross with him. She wasn’t being unkind to him, as such. Bless her heart, he didn’t think she’d have it in her to be unkind to anyone. Any person who could muster this level of patience and empathy for a man the likes of Bosworth deserved sainthood in his eyes. She wouldn’t even allow herself to hate her ex-husband, and God knows she’d be justified to do so.
    So between a nuisance and a drunkard, how on earth had he managed to offend her worse than both?

    OR Audrey Hall set up her employer with her friend and feels some type of way about it

    Summary

    It’s not like the things she writes about.

    In her novels, the men are silent. Rutting and eager but quiet; they use their mouths to bed the heroines in her book, but by the time they fall into bed - or onto desks, or into too tight coat closets and clawfoot bathtubs - they are silent. They growl and grunt and gasp and roar, but for the most part, the men Lizzie writes about are the strong, silent type.

    Freddie is not.

    Freddie, it seems, likes to talk.

    She looks him dead in the eye and says it again, “You’re in love with Rebecca.”

    And the problem is, no matter how badly his heart wants to keep those words inside, his brain doesn't seem to give a damn because he doesn’t even wait a beat before answering her.

    “Yeah, I am.”

    It doesn’t feel like he has much of a right to buying flowers, or to even being here today. PPOs don’t get invited to the funerals of their Principals for good reasons.

    Not least that it being her funeral means he failed quite spectacularly as her PPO.

    She looks up, hoping in vain that the bus will arrive without a 20-minute wait, and finally realizes that she’s at the wrong stop. This is the bus for New Malden, the flat she hasnʼt been to since… Well, since Villanelle. Ugh. Now she’ll have to get up and pretend like she hasnʼt been waiting for 10 minutes for nothing. At least thereʼs nobody at the stop, aside from that woman who just arrived, with the fashionable dress and the blonde hair and-

    Summary

    Because this is what they do, Eve realizes. This is how they communicate – in words and actions like chess moves, all part of some inane power struggle – because the alternative is actually talking about their feelings like proper adults. But that would be too easy, too much like giving in.

    After the bus incident, Eve begins to process some things.
