Summary
“Is something wrong at home?” Peggy asked, nervously. “Is your father - okay?”
“He’s fine,” Ginsberg said, and he really did look like hell, just exhausted. For the first time it occurred to Peggy that this could be a physical problem. A cold, shapeless fear shot through her.
“You’re not … you're not sick, are you?” she asked, a little shriller than she meant to be.
“No! I just haven’t been sleeping good lately. It’s - it’s not from something bad. I’m being stupid, that’s all.” He looked helplessly at her. “You wouldn’t understand.”
“Try me.”
He sighed, defeated, and said the last thing Peggy expected. “My father is getting married.”
Or: Ginsberg moves into Peggy's building, shenanigans ensue.

Summary
On paper, it’s a terrible idea. Out loud, it’s an embarrassment.
"I, Margot Verger, am taking my destiny back by finding a man and settling down with what is a 50-50 chance of success, fertility and fathers aside."
She tries it out in the bathroom mirror. She plans how long it takes to get to Wolf Trap, Virginia from where she is - 46 minutes in good traffic. Enough time to say it approximately 276 more times. They say it’s a habit after 30, so maybe between now and Will Graham’s house, it’ll sound better.
---
Margot tells Will about her pregnancy out of fear, and Will desperately wants to be a good father. Both should be in therapy, and with other people, but for now they can have Florida instead.

Summary
Snape’s brow sinks low over his eyes. “Why.”
“Wh—?” Potter blinks twice then groans aloud. “What do you mean, ‘why?’” he says, snorting an incredulous laugh. “God’s sake, Snape, have you never got a gift before?”
Or,
Harry's been giving Snape gifts, each more thoughtful and precious than the last. It takes Snape 22,000 words to figure out why.
