Oliver has always had a bit of a thing for her.
Maybe more than a bit.
Geeking out over architectural details is Oliver and Fay’s shared love language,
and soon they’re touring pricey real estate across Upper Manhattan as the terribly faux but terribly
charming couple Darling and Olly.

EXCERPT:
“Oh,
so this is the boyfriend you were talking about,” Clompy Man said.
Fay
tipped her head back, her glossy hair catching the light, and gazed up at
Oliver adoringly. “Oliver, Brent here was offering to take me to the rest of
the stops on the tour. But I said I was waiting for you to arrive, because I
know you’re such an architecture hound that you wouldn’t want to miss it.”
“I’m
sorry I was late. I got held up at the, uh, boxing gym.”
To
her credit, she did not roll her eyes. Boxing gym. Oliver had never been
inside a boxing gym if that’s what they were called. Fay said, “That’s all
right, honey. I know how much you enjoy sparring. You’re so strong and quick on
your feet.”
She
gave his biceps a squeeze, two, as if the first weren’t enough, and he almost
laughed aloud.
She
felt it, too. Even if their improvised dialog was stilted and terrible—or maybe
because it was—they shared genuinely amused grins.
Brent
the Clomper didn’t appear quite as delighted with their acting skills.
