    Summary

    'Well, this is why Henry came home early (and mighty upset) today. I might be biting off more than I can chew, but I think I’m going to fight it. To save the building and the theatre troupe. I think I have to try.'

    The following morning he woke up to her brief response.

    'How can I help?'

    Summary

    Beard is sitting at the bar with his book, sipping on a piña colada, a few chapters from the end and fully absorbed in the words, until the bartender politely interrupts, clearing his throat.

    “Excuse me, sir, the couple over there wants to let you know… they saw you from across the bar and are really digging your vibe.” The young man looks more amused than embarrassed, entertained by whatever might unfold in front of him.

    Beard turns in the direction he indicated, feeling curious enough to acknowledge their interest, to find Ted and Rebecca, both golden and glowy from a day in the sun, both smiling in his direction.

    Summary

    When the band transitioned into a slower ballad, they slowed down as well, moving closer as they swayed, faces practically touching, Ted’s right hand softly resting on the small of her back. She looked out and over his shoulder and took a risk.

    “What if… what if we kept this up for the rest of the night?”

    Summary

    Snapshots of a marriage ending, guilt and the lack thereof, and a new beginning.

    Rebecca Mannion, soon to be Rebecca Welton again, had given herself exactly one day to break down over the ending of her marriage; one day to let the weight of the past twelve years crush her. Twenty-four hours ago, she'd had a perfectly fine life. It wasn't exactly what she had hoped or planned for, but it was fine. It was predictable and stable and hers. Then yesterday afternoon, her husband had walked into the study where she was reading, and stated, "The Sun is running a story on me today."
