    Summary

    As the months passed, however, she began to forget about the pressures of copulation, instead focusing on the domestic bliss of a happy marriage.

    Bringing Anthony a cup of tea and sitting with him whenever he took it upon himself to work late into the night, for example. He did that quite a bit.

    If it often led to him throwing her over his desk and sticking his head underneath her skirts, well, no one could blame Kate for her magnanimity — or her ability to think ahead.

    -

    Or: Kate realizes she's pregnant. Just... not quite in the way you'd think.

    Summary

    “Sorry, can I help you?” Anthony managed to force from his chest, more than a little startled at the way her black dress swished around her hips.
    The woman’s smile turned a little sheepish as she approached him, stopping just two steps from him. “This is really awkward, but I’ve just moved in across the hall last weekend, and you seem like a nice, normal, not perverted person, and maybe you could zip up my dress for me?”

    OR

    The very last thing Anthony expected when he came home on a Friday evening was to find a woman at his front door with her dress undone

    OR

    Kate Sharma lives alone and occasionally encounters the problem that all single women do: It's impossible to zip up a dress alone. It's a good thing her neighbour is so accomodating

    Summary

    Her days are all Anthony now, all smiles and promenades and quiet, peaceful rides in the sun, leaving no room for any thought except how right it feels, to look at her day and see the shape of his too, neatly intertwined.

    -- a slice of life, betrothal era.
