Summary
It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.
Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”
There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.
“Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.
Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.
“It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.

Summary
The invitation comes in the mail on pale pink, scented stationery. Scented stationery! Michael can’t fucking believe it, ends up holding the cardstock against his nose for a few long minutes—long enough that Angie leans across her desk and taps her knuckles against his brass nameplate.
Michael had grabbed the stack of that day’s mail on his way out of the house that morning and he hadn’t stopped to look at the return address on the envelope. If he had, he probably would have just tossed it in the trash.
“Hey,” Angie barks out, then snaps her fingers in his face. “Earth to Ormewood. What’s going on here, bud. Are you stroking out?”
ormewood gets an invitation to his ex-wife's wedding and he needs a date. who will he ask?!

Summary
“Are you sure you’re okay?” She looked up at him through her pale eyelashes, a small hand reaching out to gently touch his forearm sending sparks through his body. “You seem… different.”
How could he explain that he seemed different because he was different? What words could he string together to convey that suddenly he looked at her and he really saw her and now he can’t unsee her? What explanation could justify his foolishness for not having seen it sooner? For letting things get this far? For acting so out of character the past twenty-four hours? How could he describe the wave of anxiety consuming him from his toes to his eyeballs? The undeniable urge taking over his body to grab her, pull her into his arms, and kiss her until neither of them could breathe?
“I’m fine. Just tired, I guess.”
Penelope dropped her hand and he felt cold at the loss of her. “Okay then.”
--
Teenaged Colin spirals after seeing Penelope kiss someone else at a party and realizing for the first time that he views her as so much more than a friend.
