Summary
He lowered his head and a chill soon followed. They say the nervous system reacts to moments of fear or harmful moments with fight or flight, but Emma knew from her therapist that there were two more that's often forgotten: freeze or fawn. Even after three years of therapy and learning how to create boundaries, placed in a city where she knew no one and knew nothing of the culture, she knew she'd fawn.
“I just want to make sure you're okay.” She found herself reaching out to touch his shoulder, but stopping herself to straighten back up. She’d learn her lesson about touching people without warning, or consent.
A deep gravelly noise rumbled from the man as he tilted his head back up. He didn't meet her eyes this time. “It hasn't been a good day, is all. I'm fine.” He didn't move, though. His eyes were focused on something past her, she realized, and she turned to look at what he could possibly be fixated on.

Summary
“Be careful. The Shark’s attention is not to be fooled around with. He is a great surgeon. But people have had experiences up there in ortho that haven't been good. Don't think one doe-eyed nurse will change him.” Emma frowned gently, not sure if Dana was being protective or if she just insulted her right to her face.
“I don't think that at all. Thank you for looking out for me. I think this has all just been blown out of proportion. Maybe because I'm new and he's never seen me before …”
“Maybe, Emma. Maybe. Just … be careful,” Dana said, softer this time. “Sharks hunt when there is blood in the water.”
-- -- -- -- --
Emma Nolan catches the attention of a certain 'Shark' and a proposal leads Emma to realize that he's not as terrifying as everyone makes him out to be.

Summary
Mary Bennet has always been the overlooked sister—not pretty enough to attract a husband, not witty enough to amuse her father, not carefree enough to please her mother. But at seventeen, something shifts: a woman from the 21st century awakens within her, carrying memories of another world—and another life.
For two years, Mary prepares. She saves her pocket money, invests in canals, and learns to play the piano for herself rather than for others' approval. She crafts a strategic invisibility, an armor of silence and observation.
But the plot of Pride and Prejudice cares little for plans.
