Fics like pining in anticipation

Madeline Ashton has always considered herself emotionally detached, romantically unbothered, and completely immune to the kind of drama that usually involves crying in public or stalking someone on Instagram at three in the morning. She dates when she feels like it, disappears when she’s bored, and Ernest, all charming in that vaguely disappointing way, was never meant to be anything serious. Until one night, while he’s passed out in her bed and snoring like a dying blender, Madeline picks up his phone. Not because she’s jealous — obviously — but because she’s bored. And that’s when she finds Helen. The other name in his phone that isn’t food delivery. And she’s… stunning. Smart. Funny. Probably volunteers with orphans on weekends and makes eye contact when she speaks. A walking, talking monument to everything Madeline pretends not to want. It should have ruined everything. Instead, it sparks something. And suddenly, Ernest isn’t the problem. He’s just… in her way.
