BBC Musketeers, Constance/Athos where they're the only ones left standing in their late 40s and well, why not:

Constance had watched d'Artangnan chop wood before, she was fairly certain she could manage it. Or, she could hold out until the following week when someone from the garrison came out to deliver her supplies. Or...

She rounded the corner and stopped, then sighed and shook her head.

Or she could ask the Musketeer currently standing at her door and knocking politely.

"You're early," she called out heading his way.

Athos turned and smiled at her. "Porthos was worried."

From my The Baker and the Bounty Hunter 'novel':

Emma sagged against the side of her car, breathing heavily. The sound of rushing footsteps made her jump back up and she swung her pack again in the direction of the steps.

“Whoa, whoa, easy there, slugger, it’s me,” Cage said holding up his hands and jumping back. “Are you okay?”

“No!” she shouted. “That asshole threw macarons at me!”

From The Ghost and the Ghost-writer:

"This is authentic," Nora said looking at the fob. She raised her eyes to Myron's. "You remembered that I wrote that obituary about the ceramics master, didn't you?"

"Your occupation has led to you having the most intriguingly esoteric library, my dear," he said, his smile not quite hidden by his teacup.
