Summary
Was this how it was supposed to feel? All laughter and hope soothing the nerves away? She’d always believed love was supposed to hurt, it was supposed to be frustrating. She’d always believed love meant tears and fights and throwing things. With Peter it was almost effortless and always had been.

Summary
“Honestly? They’re hedging because it’s hard to know. Normally in these situations we know if there’s been a kidnapping or violence by now. So, I’m not giving up hope. Once, I was missing for a week because my jeep broke down out of radio range and we had to hike back to camp. Anything can happen out there. But three days is a long time, especially with the technology we have right now.”

Summary
Silence. Comfortable silence. They ate their fries. She could sense Jim trying to bring a conversation thread to the front of his mind, but wasn’t sure how to word it, so she waited, patient.

She emerged from the bedroom to see four men - clearly secret service agents - throwing her boyfriend up against the wall. Peter winced in pain. Avery screamed again, which did nothing to soothe the emotions in the room.

Summary
Peter was surprisingly old fashioned. For years, she’d been the one to buy roses for her office, but now he sent a weekly bouquet. He liked to pick her up from work, liked to open the door for her, liked to guide her by the small of her back when he wasn’t holding her hand or walking with his arm around her. In the past, a partner who held to her like he did would have driven her insane, but she loved how his hand was never far from hers, how whenever they were together, he leaned in to her space. He liked to choose where they ate - though it wasn’t a problem because they liked the same places, dinners were spent sitting next to each other, not across the table, and he always helped her into her chair, and made sure she ordered first. All of it was perfectly romantic, and Murphy would never admit it to the people in her life, but she was thoroughly enchanted with how he made her feel like a lady.

Summary
Saturday nights were for satin slips under her skirt, loose blouses that showed off the tiny curve she had, and on cold nights, sweaters she didn’t need a coat with. They were for her fancy heels - not even the ones she wore on show nights. But ones she could dance in, whether they stayed twenty minutes or an hour.

Summary
If Miles knew how many places in this building she and Peter had had sex, he might tell the network to keep them separated at all times. Her personal favorite remained the night he’d come to pick her up, pages from Jim’s novel of all things in his hand. He’d found them when organizing something in the library, and like everyone else, had made the connection between her and Monique.

Summary
He’d expected her to be a force of nature. He’d expected her to storm in and possibly kill him for being in her space. He hadn’t been expecting to get lost in the most stunning set of indigo blue eyes he’d ever dared to look in to. He hadn’t been expecting so much power into such a compact frame. He hadn’t been expecting flowing blonde hair, and a choker necklace, and the way her lips quirked when she stared back at him.

Summary
Inside the casing was a roll of blue paper and she pulled it free and pressed it to her lips. She couldn’t help but wonder if women Corky’s age did this. If they had the same connection to scrawl on paper, a moment in time from a warzone half a world away. She had a box full of letters from the years, some from lovers, some from friends, some she’d written and never sent to men like Jake, women like Jessie. It had been a long time since she’d indulged in the power of the silence of a war zone letter.

Summary
A week ago, she’d been passed out on her floor, still in her overcoat, safe by some miracle of the universe. She could have killed someone on the drive home. She could be in jail right now instead of sitting on a porch in Palm Springs, surrounded by her fellow self-addicted celebrities. What a life that would be - from news queen to drunken murderer. Grace from a God she didn’t believe in had managed to get her home that night.

Summary
She didn’t need a Prince. But a King would be nice. Someone to stand with her, an equal. She hated that she was lonely, hated that she wanted that companionship. But she did. And as the clock ticked ever closer to an age where even she was scared to tread, she was starting to wonder if her future was full of men like Baldwin: beautiful, driven, and completely dispassionate. At least, when it came to her.
