Summary
When Áine buzzes the door, she’s got a cake tucked under her arm and her new set of underwear under her clothes, dessert and after-dessert shenanigans all planned out for tonight, so the last thing she wants to see is Étienne answering the door with a deeply unhappy expression on his face.

Summary
“Oh my God,” Áine says, laughter rising up in her voice. “What is this?”
Richard glances up from the stove, but it’s too late--Áine is looking through a manuscript of the book that’s making through the second round of edits at Richard’s work, and with her unerring nose for the ridiculous, she’s opened it to one of the tabbed places with the...incredible awkward sex scene that Richard is doing his level best to rework into something less horrific.

Summary
It’s not until Marta picks up the medical bag that she notices that something is wrong.
She can hear Harlan still singing upstairs in the attic, just like she can hear everyone downstairs getting ready for bed, just like she can smell Walt’s cigarettes, the incense Joni is burning in her room, a thousand different things her senses are picking up that Marta has learned to ignore, learned to put to one side.
But this--this Marta can’t ignore.
Because it’s Ransom’s scent lingering in the room, Ransom’s Tom Ford cologne lingering in a room he has no reason to be in, and as Marta lifts the bag to her nose and takes a careful sniff of the handles--it’s Ransom’s scent, human sweat and pheromones and man-made perfume lingering on a medical bag he has no reason to be touching in the first place.

Summary
Fen didn’t want to be in retreat for the rest of her life, and eventually she knew she’d have to go back to London and face the whispers and gossip again. A strategic retreat was necessary for a time, but it wouldn’t do to be a recluse.
“You could be a recluse,” Pat pointed out wryly at the breakfast table that morning. “You’d certainly make the most fetching recluse in England.”

Summary
Among Francis’s array of faults, he knew himself to be somewhat… forward in his passions. When he fell, he fell hard and without reserve. It was luck- a more superstitious man might have said fate- that he had, at last, fallen for someone who not only did not shy away from his earnestness, but reciprocated it, encouraged it. All they had to do was not muck it up or get themselves hanged before they touched home soil- an easier prospect when not ensconced in James's arms, without James's big hands resting dangerously low on his belly.
(or, two idiots, saved from the brink of death and on their way back to England, trying, with mixed success, not to break the Articles of War.)

Summary
Miss Gibson said, “In the spirit of truthful admission, Miss Bennet, I intend to spend some time devising the right question for you. If I may see you again?”
Why did that sound strange? But she always sounded strange to people herself. And it was a familiar kind of strangeness, as if it were something she had heard before, only not like this.
Mary, constrained by the principles of truth, could only admit that she would enjoy that very much.
