    Summary

    In the wake of Taggie and Rupert’s kiss and Cameron and Tony’s fight, everything in Taggie’s life went to shit. The man she loved moved another woman into his home, her father needed more parenting than her younger sister, and Taggie was generally heartbroken and exhausted.

    As Taggie hid away in the Priory kitchen making canapés, she took comfort in the fact that everyone seemed oblivious to her misery--with one tall, dark, and handsome exception.

    Bas Baddingham, avowed bachelor and Rutshire’s most emotionally competent rake, had watched Taggie and his best friend circle each other for months. So when Cameron moved into Penscombe, Bas was unsurprised to see Taggie become a shell of her former self.

    In an effort to do Taggie a good turn, Bas decides to take her to the annual Hunt Ball. And when she decides she fancies a casual fling, Bas is delighted–uncomplicated casual flings are his specialty, after all.

    Unfortunately for both Bas and Taggie, love and casual flings will prove surprisingly complicated.

    Summary

    This is a re-imagining of the gaps in episode 1x04, centered around Taggie’s time in Bar Sinister on Valentine’s Day where she fills in for Bas’s chef and cooks a curry for karaoke night.

    Taggie enjoys being in charge of a kitchen, despite her anxieties regarding Rupert pre- and post-interview. (Heavy on the Taggie longing/angst/rumination.)

    Rupert only makes a very brief irl appearance, but is always on Taggie’s mind.

    Bas is a silly flirt.
