Summary
She imagined a hundred scenarios, tried to believe that there was some way it might have played out differently, but there had been a dark finality in Mr Hayward's solemn gaze after speaking with Mr Ryder, and she was sure that was the crux of it.
I shall get to the bottom of it all, tomorrow, she resolved, they owe me that much.
What if Scafel went a little differently? What if Mary did not go gentle? What if she refused to let other people continue to make decisions for her? What if Mary made herself be brave?

Summary
Mary Bennet spent years loving Tom Hayward quietly. Quietly enough that nobody noticed. Not Tom, who only ever saw his best friend's younger sister. Not Jane, who never realised how carefully Mary stayed out of the way. Not even Mary herself, until loving someone who would never look back became lonelier than letting him go.
University changed everything. By the time Mary returned, she learnt how to take up space; she had become someone she finally recognised in the mirror.
Then she moved into the spare room of Tom’s flat.
Tom can't understand why the friend he remembers so fondly now keeps him carefully at arm's length. Mary can't understand why the boy from her past suddenly seems determined to learn every version of who she's become.
Some people grow apart. Others simply need to meet each other twice.

Right...?

Never in his life had he ran out of things to say, until too many years seemed to cause his well to run dry. That is until the most beautiful pianist steps on stage...Bookmarked by AllOverAgain

Summary
Thomas Hayward recognized a few universal truths about life. One, that a single man who was not in possession of a good fortune must work for everything he has. Two, that love was not something that people merely acquired without equal amounts of hard work and finally, that you always wanted Mrs. Gardiner on your side.

Five times Tom gave Mary a kiss, and one time he... still gave her a kiss, albeit of a quite different nature from the previous ones.
