Summary
The knock on Rebecca’s office door is habitual. Ted’s done this a hundred times before, in the morning with biscuits, in the evening with stories about his day and it is always the same.
Except today, it isn’t.
He pushes the ajar door open, expecting Rebecca to be immersed in paperwork or emails, a tea cup on her desk but the sight stops him cold.
She isn’t alone.
Matthijs is there, standing close as she gathers her belongings, laughing at something he’s said. The sound hits Ted like a sucker punch.
Rebecca’s laugh has never hurt before.
This is a story about how two years apart changed Ted and Rebecca's bond.

Summary
Ted could not tell how long she stared at him, how long he looked back - he just knew that he stopped breathing, that he had forgotten how to do even the most fundamental human task necessary for survival, and when she looked away, he hated himself. Hated himself for looking, hated himself for his body’s response.
And because he could not survive hating himself, he hated her instead.

Summary
Ted has always been a physical person. But freshly divorced, he’s not ready to jump back into a relationship. It doesn't change how much he still craves to be touched. To be loved. To be wanted. He’s also not a fan of one-night stands. Never has been.
Rebecca, on the other hand, prefers one-night stands. They aren’t messy or complicated, and she doesn’t have to worry about attachments. However, being as known as she is ever since she won the club in the divorce… one-night stands aren’t really an option. The chances of her partner leaking it to the press wasn’t worth the risk.
That’s where the company Your Secret’s Safe with Me (YSSM) comes in. They specialise in pairing people based on the profiles they’ve built. The air of anonymity they provide means that you can have all the sex you want - no attachments to worry about. And no worries about having your sex life or kinks exposed.

Summary
She’d had the realization about three months ago, when she was hip-deep in planning, and preparing for their match against West Ham, and dealing with her now-involved mother, that Ted wasn’t just a friend. She’d invited him over to look at resort options, ordered them take-away and they’d drained a bottle of wine together and half the night was gone before she realized her leg was pressed against his thigh and he had an arm around her shoulder, leaning in to better see the laptop screen. He was telling her a story about Henry’s first trip to the beach when she’d looked over at him, really, properly looked at him, in a way she’d never allowed herself to before. Her breath had caught and her chest caved in and she’d realized with absolutely no preamble or fair warning that she was desperately in love with the man sitting next to her, talking obliviously about how much his son hates sand between his toes and it had taken all her willpower and self-preservation not to lean in right then and kiss him.
