Summary
When Ted has to go back to Kansas for two weeks to attend his cousin’s wedding, he’s hit with anxiety about going and having to see old family (and Michelle and Jake). Wanting to help, Rebecca offers to go with him. But on their arrival, Ted’s cousin and her wife-to-be assume they’re a couple and are so happy to see Ted with his ‘girlfriend’ that neither Ted nor Rebecca can bring themselves to correct them. That’s when they come up with the plan - if they’re fake dating, and everyone thinks Ted there with Rebecca as his partner, maybe this whole thing with his family will be a bit easier? Only neither of them factor into this plan that they’re both secretly in love with the other. Both believing they’re too broken to ever be good enough.
But now they’re on a healing journey, with some help from those around them.
Each chapter is inspired by a song from Noah Kahan’s album stick season we’ll all be here forever

Summary
It’s an early autumn evening, about three months after Ted leaves. The immediate, visceral pain of his absence has settled into more of an ever-present dull ache deep in her bones that pretends to allow itself to be forgotten momentarily. She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t already thought of Ted a dozen times that day alone, but he’s far from her busy mind at the moment, when the message pings up on Rebecca’s computer.

Summary
Suddenly, she hears a voice behind her that makes her heart stop.
“Well, if this ain't the most beautiful sight in America.”
Rebecca turns around.
“Saying that while you're looking at me from behind isn’t very appropriate, now is it?” she smirks, raising her eyebrows.
A work event brings Ted and Rebecca back together. It is unplanned, unrehearsed and most importantly unforgettable.
But should the things that happen in Chicago stay in Chicago?
