Summary
Trent rolls up his shirt sleeves slowly and carefully. “I’m a journalist, Ted,” he says with distaste. “I don’t bake.”
“And what, you think I’m Mary Berry?” Ted grins at Trent’s raised eyebrow. “We get Bake Off in the States you know. You really never done this before?”
“Never,” Trent confirms dryly. -

Summary
Trent paused, thumb hovering indecisively for a second before tapping it, letting the photo fill his screen. Ted’s posture was absolutely terrible, hands scrunched up and shoved carelessly in his trouser pockets but Trent couldn’t help but admit that Ted Lasso scrubbed up well.
or
5 times Trent scrolls through the photos of a Richmond Charity event and 1 time he's actually there.

Summary
It seemed, at the time, like an ideal arrangement. Trent would be able to stay 'in the zone' so to speak, and Ted would be there so there wasn't an outsider loose on sacred Richmond ground alone.
He hadn't accounted for what it would actually be like. And there are few tortures as painful and exquisite as finding yourself alone with the person you've ill-advisedly fallen in love with.

Summary
“Yeah, well,” Ted says ruefully, gingerly touching the cut on his forehead, “I figure if they didn’t like the team being written about by a ‘you-know-what,’ imagine how they’d feel knowing one was coaching them.”
Ted groans as he gets down to his feet. “I’m gonna go check on Roy—unless there’s anything else you need here?” His warm hand settles on Trent’s shoulder.
For perhaps the second time in his life, Trent has no follow up questions. Ted squeezes his shoulder and goes to see to Roy’s black eye. The spot on Trent’s shoulder burns.
Or:
These are the facts.
A man swung a bottle at Trent’s head and Ted reacted like a hero in a tawdry romance novel, practically sweeping Trent into his arms while battling off a cadre of drunken bigots. Ted then told Trent Crimm, the Independent, ruthless and bloodthirsty journo, temporary damsel in distress, that a member of the coaching staff was gay as easily as he would acknowledge the weather.
The crush Trent has been nursing for months is now a problem.
