Sometimes I just sit and think about how Rebecca Welton was still in the very earliest stages of recovering from an abusive marriage that had lasted well over a decade, when this man she barely knew (and whose life she was actively sabotaging in some desperate attempt at revenge) handed her a box of shortbread, and that he did so with no ulterior motive beyond his quest to spend more time with her. And the fact that her immediate response was “fuck me!” but also that once she’d sat with it for a while, her response was to think that maybe this was what home felt like. The fact that she realized all of this months before she even knew that the biscuits were homemade. The fact that he’d spent hours upon hours already crafting them for her, rather than simply buying them somewhere. The fact that there was never a hint of artifice behind the biscuits whatsoever. The fact that he kept making them.
