Summary
"She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.
"We're two friends having dinner."
"At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."
"It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."
"You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."
"That's not a date, that's paying attention."
"Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.

Summary
“You okay?” Andy whispers while pulling carefully, opening up Emily’s chest and directing her arm straighter.
“No,” Emily whispers back through a straining jaw, “this is terrible and I hate it and you.”
“But we’ve only just met,” Andy murmurs with a wide smile. Emily sees it sideways.
“And this is a horrible first impression,” she whispers, broken at the end by a pained groan she attempts to muffle into her shoulder.

Summary
The thought arrived uninvited and immediately irritated her.
Across the table, Andrea was studying the condensation running down the side of her water glass, apparently oblivious to the fact that she had just made the last two decades considerably more confusing. People did not usually remember promotions, or cities someone had lived in, or the exact order in which those things had happened. They certainly didn’t recall them casually over lunch nearly twenty years later. At least, not unless they had been paying attention. Not unless, at some point, they had actively wanted to know.
And if Andrea had been paying attention all this time, then Emily suddenly found herself confronted with a question she had never once considered asking.
Why?
