Fics like baby, do you know what that's worth (we'll make heaven a place on earth)

She’d had the realization about three months ago, when she was hip-deep in planning, and preparing for their match against West Ham, and dealing with her now-involved mother, that Ted wasn’t just a friend. She’d invited him over to look at resort options, ordered them take-away and they’d drained a bottle of wine together and half the night was gone before she realized her leg was pressed against his thigh and he had an arm around her shoulder, leaning in to better see the laptop screen. He was telling her a story about Henry’s first trip to the beach when she’d looked over at him, really, properly looked at him, in a way she’d never allowed herself to before. Her breath had caught and her chest caved in and she’d realized with absolutely no preamble or fair warning that she was desperately in love with the man sitting next to her, talking obliviously about how much his son hates sand between his toes and it had taken all her willpower and self-preservation not to lean in right then and kiss him.
