    Summary

    Agatha has come to terms with the fact that she will probably never meet her match: someone who checks all the boxes on her list of requirements for all aspects of a fulfilling relationship.

    That is until she meets Rio, who seems to be everything she wants and more.

    But when she takes her home, it turns out how much of her infatuation has been based on false assumptions, significantly decreasing their compatibility.

    Oh well, she can let her go. Right?

    Summary

    “Rio!” Agatha called for her supervisor, her nose pressed against her computer screen and her back to the rest of the room. “Rio, can you have a quick look at this?”

    At first: no reaction.

    “Rio!”

    But then—

    “I’m gonna come!”

    Agatha turned around with a speed that could’ve snapped her neck in half. “What?!”

    Summary

    Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).

    He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.

    Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.

    Summary

    “I’m not helping Agatha pull off a scheme,” Rio asserted, though not even she believed herself, “I’m trying to stop her before she goes into labor in the auditorium.”

    Lilia’s face contorted in pity, “Well,” She said, “Good luck with that.”

    Summary

    “She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”

    “Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.

    Or,

    Rio goes from IT service monkey to fucking her very beautiful, very poised boss in a very short period of time. And then, of course, there’s the aftermath.
