    Summary

    Eventually, one woman, all the way at the end of the bar, did catch his eye. Long blond hair falling loose over her shoulders, a single point of stillness in the otherwise frantic scene. He put his drink down, wiping his palms on his jeans, grabbing his drink again. His palms were immediately wet again, the condescension on the glass. Better than sweat, at least. He made his way over. He leaned against the bar near her, gathering his courage to speak. He hated feeling nervous.
    “Uh,” He started. Not his best work, “Hey.” He said. This wasn’t going to go well. She turned around, trying to discern if he was talking to her or not, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, it was trying to climb up his throat and out of his mouth, which made speaking hard.
    “Dr. Langdon ?” Mel said, smiling widely.
    “Uh,” He said, sweating.

    Langdon goes out drinking with the guys, who encourage him to put himself back out there. He tries.

    *Epilogue Preview*

    “Open it.”

    She does. She pulls the lid away and stares into the box, her eyes becoming glassy as she takes in the ring nestled within.

    His mother had laid it on his desk over four years ago and told him not to screw it up.

    He had screwed it up, of course, but he figured he had come a long way since then.

    “It’s long overdue,” Ben tells her. “I wanted that ring on your finger years ago, but I wasn’t ready yet. I mean, I wanted you. I knew you were it for me, but I wasn’t ready to be who you needed back then. Not yet.” He watches as her lower lip quivers, her mouth caught between trying to hold in a sob or let loose a smile. “My mom told me not to screw things up with you, but I think maybe I needed to screw it up to be able to make it here.

    “You’re my other half, Rey. You’re my purpose in life. My best friend. My love. Everyday you give me more of yourself, but I can’t help asking for something else.” He takes her hand in his, rubs his thumb along her naked ring finger. “Be with me. Be my wife.”

    Summary

    For just a few moments, she realized the simple tranquility she had with her previous neighbor that she was not attracted to, and how much easier it was to never have to worry about whether or not she was drooling.

    ...

    As a mechanical engineer, Rey Kenobi has made a nice living. She has a nice apartment with all of the natural light she could ever ask for, and many, many potted plants to boot. One day, she discovers that her neighbor from across the street is moving, which she really doesn't give much thought to until she sees who has replaced him.

    Oh no he's hot.
