    Summary

    “I’m jealous.” It escapes before she can let herself back out, “That my sister has a sex life, and I don’t.”

    She doesn’t know why she’s admitting that to him. She honestly doesn’t. It’s embarrassing.

    “Right there with you.” His voice is low, “How long–?”

    She chews at the bottom of her lip, doing the mental math, “Three years…You?”

    “Thirteen months.”

    Warmth pools in between her legs, and she clutches his hand like it’s a lifeline.

    It’s barely a whisper, she’s so afraid to say it,

    “Close the trunk.”

    ---

    “Wait, holy shit, King–” The wand stills inside of her as Trinity freezes the frame.

    “What?” She asks, “God, it didn’t nick something, did it? I’m not about to bleed to death?”

    “No, but you might pass out.” Trinity answers, “Maybe?”

    “What is it?” She tries to sit up, but Trinity’s already turning the ultrasound monitor around to show her.

    Her heart stills as she takes in the tiny flickering heartbeat on the screen in front of her, “Oh–”

    Summary

    Hannah Wells meant to spend one wild night in Vegas forgetting her cheating ex, not wake up legally married to Garrett Graham, Chicago Blackhawks superstar and certified walking bad decision.

    Garrett meant to enjoy NHL Awards weekend, not become TMZ’s favorite new husband before breakfast.

    But Hannah needs good press, Garrett’s team sees dollar signs, and everyone from her lawyer to his agent agrees on one thing: staying married might be the smartest disaster either of them has ever made.

    The plan is simple. Fake the marriage. Save Hannah’s Super Bowl halftime chances. Boost Garrett’s golden-boy hockey image. Divorce quietly after the season.

    Unfortunately, Garrett is funny, infuriating, stupidly hot, and much better at pretending to be her husband than he has any right to be.

    And Hannah has never been good at leaving a song unfinished.

    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)

    Summary

    Statistically, it's not all that uncommon. About 8% of all males in the country have some form of colorblindess, and Tanner Langdon just happens to fall into that 8%.

    But unfortunately for Mel, she just 100% figured it out before his parents.

    Summary

    To finally get to the point: while there hadn’t been a bet on them procreating (yet), there is the matter of the absolutely massive jackpot regarding them getting engaged, and in light of Trinity’s discovery during the shift that will forevermore be known within the Pitt community as “the Full Moon Friday Retrogeddon,” Trinity is like 96% sure Yolanda has won. Because Yolanda had put her money on “shotgun.”

     

    The story of the first two years of a relationship, told primarily through the bets their coworkers make.
