Summary
He points angrily to the badge embroidered on his chest. “I’m with the Fire Department!”
“Okay, and? Is there a fucking fire?”
“There’s an open hydrant,” Ben says, gesturing with the wrench again. Apparently the little fucks think that’s funny too.
“There’s been an open hydrant all morning,” the girl says, around a dripping spoonful of bright-orange helado. “So why’s it an emergency now?”
Ben's come to close an open hydrant. The kids playing in it don't want him to, and a pretty girl on the street is backing them up. [Originally written for twitter.]

Summary
There is no greater challenge to London’s ambitious mothers than a duke without a wife. Unfortunately for all concerned, Ben Solo has no intention of getting married, and is rich and powerful enough to make that insultingly clear. Ben has merely emerged in society to sponsor his godmother’s young ward. He cannot wait for her betrothal so he may vanish into obscurity once more.
Rey Niima is a young lady determined to find love in an unfamiliar setting. She is grateful to the duke for his reluctant support, but she’s also curious about his mysterious past. As time passes in his company, Rey finds the unthinkable taking place. Surely she isn’t foolish enough to fall in love with the ton’s most determined bachelor?
“It was those eyes as much as anything that had earned him his reputation as a man to be reckoned with. When he stared at a person, clear and unwavering, men grew uncomfortable. Women positively shivered.” ― Julia Quinn, The Duke and I.

Summary
Ben isn’t at all prepared for what he sees when this girl, who introduces herself as Rey, shakes his hand.
His family calls it a gift. Ben thinks of it as a curse, and it’s made him into something of a misanthrope. The only reason he’s here among people right now is out of loyalty to his fraternal affection for Rose.
He hates the moment his skin touches another person and a swooping, jolting, gripping understanding of their entire lives ahead unfolds before his eyes.
Most people won’t get the future they think they want. Some people don’t have pleasant futures. Some have rotten futures. And some don’t have futures at all.
He’s never seen any future like Rey’s, because he’s never been able to see his own — until now.
