Summary
“Jamie went up to Manchester.”
“You miss him.”
“No.”
Yes.
“Jamie went up to Manchester to see his father.”
Ruth’s expression, which had lit up with teasing fondness at the thought of Roy missing his best friend, falls back into concern at this. She knows about Jamie’s dad, a bit anyway. She’d entertained Roy’s request, after Wembley, to be the one to take Phoebe to school in the morning, but asked that he stop by hers after and pulled an explanation from him. She’d sat with him in the kitchen and reminded him that they’d broken the cycle for Phoebe. He’d done everything he could for them. Maybe all he could do for Jamie at that time was a hug, but he’d done it. He’d done everything he could.
Roy knows Jamie better now, though. He should be able to do more for him. He should be able to fix this.
“I just wish I could make things better for him,” Roy admits.
“You always do."Or, I have a lot of feelings about the finale trying to give James Tartt Sr. a half-assed redemption arc, and I think that Roy Kent would, too.
