    Summary

    Some moments in life are big — they push your life one way or another — and this was one of those moments for me.

     

    What if Belly had chosen not to tell Jeremiah about Conrad's confession and instead moved forward with the wedding. No wedding day drama (well not much!). This story explores what does their life look like 6 years later and what happens when Conrad re-enters her life, at Cousins of course.

    Summary

    Belly doesn't run after Conrad in Paris but it doesn't mean their story is over.

     

    I wasn’t naïve enough to believe anymore that I could ever actually evict him from my heart.  He was woven too deep into the tissue and muscle to ever do that. That didn’t mean I had to let my heart be in charge anymore though. Growing up meant learning to listen to your head, too. And that was what I was trying to do. What I had to do.  When he’d mentioned forever, something inside me froze. I wasn’t ready for that with him. Not yet.  Not when we’d gone from a year of silence to talking about forever in twelve hours.  It scared me shitless.

    Summary

    If it takes only one day for Belly and Conrad to fall back in love, what happens when they have six days together?

     

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

    Conrad and Belly have fallen out of touch since Susannah's death. They run into each other eight years later in Paris, both having moved on with their lives, and are forced to reconcile with their past.

    Does the invisible string pull as hard when you put cardiology resident Conrad and PhD candidate in psychology Belly together in the same city as adults?

    Summary

    For a second, it feels absurd. Shaking his hand. As if she hadn’t been naked in his bed less than four weeks ago. But Belly reaches out anyway. "I’m Isabel,” she says evenly. “But all my friends call me Belly.”

    There’s the slightest pause. He raises an eyebrow, just a fraction, just enough to register. “Nice to meet you,” he says.

    Just like that. Like they’re strangers.

    So that’s what they’re doing. Good.
