Summary
An incomplete list of things roommates Belly and Conrad will say just this once to:
1.) Watching TV together when they can’t sleep. (Oops, it becomes a routine rather quickly.)
2.) Sharing a bed. (A pipe burst in their apartment and they have to get a hotel room, what are they supposed to do?)
3.) Having sex with each other. (Sexual tension is taut between them, and they’re getting it out of their system. But then they’re doing it again. And again, and then one last time, for real . . . Fifth time’s the charm, surely.)
What’s next, falling in love? Yeah, right.

Summary
His fist is soft on her door, but it swings open on the hinges almost immediately. And there she is: Belly, grinning, barefoot in a white sundress and red lipstick. She looks like a dream, Conrad thinks. He’s definitely had this dream once or twice before. He maybe even had it last night. He had no idea it was possible to dream about Belly more than he already did, but the last few nights have taught him to never say never.
(Four days after Belly jumps on a train to confess her love, Conrad returns to Paris.)

Summary
Hearing Conrad's voice for the first time in two years is like being doused with a bucket of cold water.
Belly's imagination has gotten his voice wrong. It’s a little lower, a little huskier, in real life, and her brain immediately gets to work on rewriting every time she’s heard his voice in her head so that it sounds like the real thing.
(Conrad never sends the letters, so he doesn’t end up in Paris. Belly writes letters to Conrad instead, but never sends them.
After two years, they reunite on a flight from Paris to Boston, on their way to Cousins for Laurel’s birthday weekend.)
