    Summary

    Nothing had happened, is the point. Nothing had changed. Nothing that would explain why he’d had to choke down his dinner, had only managed part of it in the end, left the half-eaten remains to go bad in his kitchen sink.

    Nothing had happened that would explain how when he’d gone to get undressed for bed that night he just… couldn’t. How the thought of taking off the heavy sweats he’d spent the evening in felt unnervingly like peeling off his own skin. How he’d crawled into bed still fully clothed, still cold, had curled into a ball, tucked deep under his duvet. How he’d just… gone.

    Nothing had happened that would explain why he was still curled into that ball, still fully clothed in the dark all those hours later. Still awake, still gone.

    He’s cold.

    In which Jamie has a very-bad-brain-day and Roy tries to help.

    AKA: ‘I feel like I’ve lost my wings Roy’: but make it much, much worse.

    Summary

    “Babe, what’s going on?” she asked softly, rubbing her thumbs over his cheeks soothingly.

    “Nothin’,” he tried again, but his voice cracked right in the middle of the word.

    “Why are you so upset?” she asked again. “You know we meant it as a jo—”

    “Well, it wasn’t fucking funny,” he exclaimed, pulling away from her. “It’s not—I’m not a fucking prostitute, I can’t—you can’t make me shag someone just ‘cause they’ve paid money to spend an evening fucking chatting at me—Rebecca can—she can send me fucking back to fucking City, I won’t—I won’t do it—I’m not—”

    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to go this way.

    He doesn’t realise he’s said it out loud until Roy says, too loud: “What wasn’t supposed to go this way?”

    Jamie just stares at him, mouth opening and closing, and this is - there’s so much he could say. So much he could tell the great Roy Kent about the way things were supposed to be - the way they should have been friends, the things he wanted when he was a kid—

    Roy’s mouth - Roy’s mouth is so close to his.

    “Nothing,” he says, voice suddenly flat - and turns, and runs away.

    Summary

    The thing with Keeley was that, in every conceivable aspect, she was better than Roy. He didn’t have to worry about that this time. Everybody knew Jamie Tartt was a massive prick with an ego the size of, well, his prick. And Roy was, well, Roy. And he and Jamie deserved each other.

    Summary

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.

    It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down and there’s a cliff rising in front of him, closer and closer and closer, and he might not be able to see for shit but for some reason he can see that cliff and the empty abyss beyond it.

    It’s like: He knows the cliff is coming and he doesn’t want to slow down.

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It ends, and he wakes up, and he still can’t breathe.
