He needs someone to give him direction.

Not that this is exactly a healthy way of thinking.

As weve already discovered through Marcuss failed hookups post-Emily, this man is not ready for a relationship.

(Honestly, big mood.)

At this point, theres an interesting parallel between his burgeoning relationship with Ola and his marriage with Emily.

The word choice feels important.

Perhaps Marcus is falling into the same cycle of having a partner just to avoid being single.

Marcus takes on this advice somewhat, making compromises and being vulnerable (to a point) with Ola.

But these compromises come at the cost of himself.

Maybe she lives by The Pattern andNo Bones Daytoo.

The spark did not turn into a fire.

And when Marcus runs into Mia once again the explosive fireworks that knocks him out of his reverie.

So ends this chapter with Ola.

Hes so effortlessly charming and skilled at capturing the giddiness of infatuation.

you’re free to practically feel the butterflies yourself every time he smiles at his phone.

And with Harper as the lead, he elevates the rom-com hero.

Tell me that isnt the sign of someone who doesnt know what he likes!

This idea of Marcus having many facades keeps reappearing again and again.

You write about a rich woman in domestic peril, the books gonna sell.

I didnt mind that flashy belt Ola gifted Marcus, to be honest its cute!
