Goodreads asked Heather Day Gilbert:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Heather Day Gilbert This is a great question! Hands down, it's Tommy and Tuppence Beresford in Agatha Christie's Tommy/Tuppence mysteries. This is the couple I loosely modeled Thomas and Tess Spencer on in my Murder in the Mountains mysteries. Tommy and Tuppence had such a great rapport--they joked with each other but also supported and protected each other.

I also loved Farmer Gabriel Oak and Bathsheba Everdene in Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, Renata and John Dixon in Becky Doughty's Renata and the Fall from Grace, and I will admit, I was totally Team Jacob, at least until things got weird with Reneesme.
